    Season 1 Reunion - Rules and Regulations

    Welcome back to Raccoon Court! After almost a full calendar year, we are back in the courtroom, but before we get into new cases, we have to lay some ground rules (which can be found here). Honorable Prosecuties, Judges, and Anti-counsels Ally, BL, Jess, and Ilsa join Mel for a reading and open comment session on the rules while updating the jury about shit they've been up to since last July.  Thank’s for showing up to jury duty!
