Try it yourself: Argue both sides of a rule
- Pick a real rule at home or school, like "no phones at dinner".
- Write the three strongest reasons FOR the rule.

- Could you change the rule so it keeps the good parts of both sides?
Lawyers, judges and policy makers have to understand the other side's best argument, not just their own.
