Chapter 56:  Mock Trial: Raja Rudra vs. BigCorp



Venue: Pearson – Mock Trial Room

Presiding Judge: Louis Litt

Jury: Associates and Partners from PSL

Louis Litt (Judge): "Alright, let's get this show on the road! The case before us is John Doe vs. BigCorp, a powerful corporation accused of fraudulent practices and breach of contract. Mr. Raja Rudra represents the plaintiff. Mr. Ross represents the defendant. Keep it sharp, keep it legal, and don't waste my time. Plaintiff, you may proceed."

Raja Rudra (Plaintiff's Counsel):

"Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, today we stand against a corporate giant that has chosen profit over people, deception over honesty. My client, an everyday citizen, was misled, manipulated, and financially ruined by BigCorp. This isn't just about one person—it's about accountability. It's about stopping corporate greed from trampling over the very people it claims to serve. Today, we seek justice, not just for my client, but for every individual who has been wronged by such unethical practices."

Mike Ross (Defense Counsel):

"Your Honor, members of the jury, my colleague would have you believe this is some grand moral crusade, but let's be clear—this is a business dispute, nothing more. My client, BigCorp, has always operated within the bounds of the law. The plaintiff's grievances are based on misinterpretations, assumptions, and emotional appeals rather than facts. Today, we will prove that BigCorp is not at fault and that the plaintiff's claims are not only unfounded but also an attempt to unfairly penalize a successful corporation."

Raja Rudra (Plaintiff's Counsel): "Mr. Ross, let's talk about the fine print in BigCorp's contract. It states that customers were given 'full disclosure' before entering the agreement. Could you tell us exactly where in the contract it explicitly mentions the hidden fees amounting to millions of dollars in excess charges?"

Mike Ross (Defense Counsel): "Mr. Rudra, as a lawyer, you know that transparency is about reasonable expectation. The fees were outlined in the terms and conditions, which were available to the plaintiff at the time of signing."

Raja Rudra: "Ah, yes, the terms and conditions—buried in twenty pages of legalese, written in a font size so small that an ant would need reading glasses. You expect the jury to believe that an average citizen could have reasonably understood the implications of these terms?"

Mike Ross: "Contracts exist for a reason, Mr. Rudra. My client is not responsible for what a signatory fails to read. If ignorance of the law is no excuse, then surely ignorance of a contract isn't either."

Raja Rudra (smirks): "Interesting. So you're saying that if I handed you a document filled with legal loopholes, hidden clauses, and a section that, let's say, grants me ownership of your bike, you'd be obligated to hand over the keys just because you signed it?"

Mike Ross (pauses, then regains composure): "That's an exaggeration, and you know it."

Raja Rudra (turning to the jury): "Is it? Because that's exactly what happened here—except instead of a bike, it was someone's financial future. BigCorp didn't just fail to disclose; they designed their contracts to mislead."

Mike Ross:

"BigCorp operates within the legal framework of this country. If the plaintiff failed to understand the contract, that is unfortunate, but it is not our burden to bear. We cannot penalize success simply because it is unpopular. The law is clear, and so is our stance—BigCorp is not liable."

Raja Rudra:

"Justice is not about who has the best lawyers or the deepest pockets. It is about fairness. If corporations can manipulate contracts to their advantage, then the system itself is broken. Today, I ask you not just to consider the law, but the morality behind it. If we allow this, we set a precedent where deception is rewarded, and accountability is an illusion. We must take a stand."

Harvey Specter (leaning to Louis): "Damn, I forgot how good Raja is."

Donna Paulsen (smirking): "Forgot? Or pretended?"

Louis Litt: "ORDER! We are not breaking character!"

Louis Litt (Judge):

"Alright, both sides have made their closing arguments. But before we wrap this up, I have a few clarifying questions. Mr. Ross, your client argues that the terms and conditions were clear, but tell me—how many people, statistically, actually read these contracts in full?"

Mike Ross (Defense Counsel):

"Your Honor, I can't speak to individual reading habits, but the information was made available. It is not BigCorp's responsibility if people choose not to read."

Louis Litt:

"So you admit that the expectation that an average person would read and understand twenty pages of fine print is, let's say, optimistic?"

Mike Ross:

"I admit no such thing, Your Honor. If I hand someone a book and they choose not to read it, does that make the content of the book my responsibility?"

Raja Rudra (Plaintiff's Counsel, interjecting smoothly):

"Only if the book is rigged so that page one says, 'Sign here for a free gift,' and page twenty says, 'By the way, you now owe me a fortune.' That's not a book, Mr. Ross. That's a trap."

Louis Litt (leaning forward, intrigued):

"Interesting. Mr. Ross, is it true that your client intentionally placed key financial clauses in the least accessible parts of the contract?"

Mike Ross (sensing the tension in the room):

"Your Honor, my client followed standard industry practices."

Raja Rudra (raising an eyebrow):

"'Standard industry practices'—also known as the 'everyone else is doing it' defense. Tell me, Mr. Ross, if an entire industry profits off of deception, does that make it legal? Or just normalized corruption?"

Harvey Specter (from the gallery, pretending not to know Raja but clearly enjoying himself):

"I gotta say, this is getting good."

Donna Paulsen (whispering to Zane):

"Raja's about to pull something. Watch."

Raja Rudra (calmly stepping forward):

"Your Honor, before we let Mr. Ross escape behind technicalities, I'd like to present a last-minute exhibit."

Mike Ross (crossing his arms):

"Objection! He can't just introduce new evidence this late!"

Louis Litt (grinning):

"Overruled! This is a mock trial, and I love drama."

Raja Rudra (holding up a document):

"This is an internal BigCorp email that my team uncovered. It details an internal strategy meeting where executives discussed how to 'minimize legal risk while maximizing customer confusion.'"

(Gasps in the jury box. Harvey raises an impressed eyebrow. Mike's jaw clenches.)

Mike Ross (recovering quickly):

"Your Honor, that document could mean anything. We don't have proof that this specific contract was written with those intentions."

Raja Rudra (walking up to the jury box, voice unwavering):

"True. But let's apply some common sense. If someone builds a bear trap and a bear gets caught, do we assume it was just a coincidence? Or do we recognize that it was designed exactly for that purpose?"

(The jury murmurs.)

Mike Ross (sighs, knowing he's in trouble):

"The contract was still legally binding."

Raja Rudra (final blow):

"Binding? Maybe. But ethical? Absolutely not. And that's what this trial is really about—whether we let corporations legally manipulate people while hiding behind the fine print. Today, we get to decide if justice is a privilege of the powerful or a right for everyone."

Louis Litt (smirking, turning to the jury):

"Jury, you've heard both sides. You've seen the evidence. Now, I ask you—do we let BigCorp walk away, or do we call them out for the corporate fraudsters they are?"

(The jury whispers amongst themselves, then the foreperson stands.)

Jury Foreperson:

"We, the jury, find in favor of the plaintiff."

(Applause from the associates in the gallery. Mike sighs, but can't help but smirk at Raja's skills.)

Louis Litt (banging the gavel):

"And that, ladies and gentlemen, is Litt Up justice!"

(Mock trial adjourned. Raja smirks. Mike shakes his head but offers a handshake.)

Mike Ross:

"Fine, you got me this time. But next time, I'm bringing my A-game."

Raja Rudra (shaking his hand, amused):

"You better. I don't do second-place victories."

Harvey Specter (grinning, finally dropping the act):

"Damn, Raja. That was savage."

All the junior lawyer become shocked by Harveys, Litt, Donna and zane closeness with raja.

Harvey " You guys let me introduce you, Rudra D. Raja Kumara he is like a protégé of Jessica Pearson and kind of one of the Bosses of the Pearson Firm."

Louis Litt " You guys lost to a High school graduate, who reads law books for fun."

All the junior lawyers " Whaat! "

Louis Litt " Yes he was the one who found the loophole in the Law to get the Billion dollar contract for our client a year ago, which made us famous and he found it in 24hrs, so, don't underestimate anyone and try to one-up yourself."

After the lawyers get back to there work in zombie fashion and feeling sad to loose to a high school graduate.

Raja cam near Louis Litt " You know I found the loop hole in 5 minutes and constructed a best argument and counter argument in 25 minutes"

Harvey, Louis, Donna and Zane looked furious " Do you want them to Die you Devil! "

Harvey " Jessica's decision was correct, for not sending you to law college otherwise you would end the Judicial system"
