United States District Court for the Southern District of New York
The case that changed what accountability means.
United States v. Epstein is not just a criminal trial, it is a test of whether power insulates or exposes. Delegates take on the roles of prosecution, defence, and jury, working through one of the most heavily documented and contested cases in recent American legal history.
This committee runs as a legal simulation: delegates must master courtroom procedure, rules of evidence, and the art of examination and cross-examination. The chair team acts as the bench. No prior legal experience is required, but the preparation bar is high, and the floor will be unforgiving of delegates who arrive without knowing the record.
