Name: Toshiro Hitsugaya
House: Ravenclaw
How They Did: Toshiro writes a neat, sober 28 inch essay using the trials of three of Grindlewald's followers from the last wizarding war to highlight the current Ministry trial regulations. One trial is fairly simple and straightforward; one was laced with outrage and only kept humane by means of Ministry rules; and during the last, the rules were administered by a corrupt Wizengamut which exploited an obviously unintended grammatical loophole to levy the death penalty even though both precedent and sound legal analysis argued for life in Azkaban. The wording of the flawed rule was not changed, but a subsequent Wizengamut overturned the verdict so the loophole could not be used again. Although it led to a war criminal's execution, it's an unsettling case that should leave a bad taste in the mouth of anyone committed to truly impartial justice and Toshiro basically picked it to see how Edgeworth would react.

Name: Fuuma Monou
House: Slytherin
How They Did: Writes the bare minimum of 25 inches, but discusses a legitimate, if small, loophole in a particularly well-used law brought up in many trials, with a few examples of how a competent lawyer aware of the loophole could have turned multiple cases around.

Name: Mulan Fa
House: 6th
How They Did: She wrote 25.5 inches, fairly well written and neatly organized. She discusses some rather low key cases, all of which had their outcome greatly influenced by at least one of the rules covered in class.

Name: Natsuo Sagan
House: Slytherin
How They Did: Natsuo wrote an 11-inch essay, which thoroughly covers the different opinions on the moral responsibilities of magical law. It's a bit dry in parts, but it's evident that he read and took good notes. His opinions on the subject are added in at the end, almost like an afterthought.
Turned in on Time?: Yes indeed.

Name: Yuuri Shibuya
House: Hufflepuff
How They Did: His notes are a bit messy but they do cover the important information. His essay in contrast shows how serious he feels the responsibilites of people upholding law are, using examples and scenario's to address the importance of the matter and the consequences of things being too lax.
Turned in on Time?: Yes.
