Outline: Learn about the rules while having fun though a mock court-like session.
1. Set up an over elaborate court room. Use a desk for the judges table and and make a witness stand by propping two boards together in an L shape. Some signs like "Redmond vs. Lordan" make it look more ridiculous and therefore more fun.
2. Run the protest like an episode of Alley Mc Beal or Judge Judy. Allow people to call witnesses and hire mock lawyers. Have the participants prepare a diagram of what happened in their view. Have a mallet to bring the court to order.
You can alternatively run the session like an actual protest hearing. It's a trade off between accuracy and entertainment.
