"The Trial of Emory Dick"
Written by Oliver Goldstick
Original AirDate: 1/20/00
The plaintiff: Emory Dick. He's suing the school for
giving preferential treatment to popular students
and promoting a social caste system that made
him flunk biology.
The defendant: Brooke McQueen. As the most
popular girl in school, she's representing Kennedy
High. She's accused of trading good looks for
good grades.
The cases and the litigants are real. Principal Hall
has convinced them to settle their disputes here in
the Popular People's Court!
Lilly and Sam are determined to help Emory win
his case in mock court. While they wrestle with the
issues, Josh and Sugar Daddy are stoked for the
return of wrestling season. But Principal Hall drops
a bomb when she tells Sugar Daddy that there's
no weight class he can wrestle in without putting
other students in danger.
Sugar Daddy feels like he's just been pinned.
When he's called as a witness in the trial to
defend his mistreatment of unpopular Emory, he
testifies with righteous conviction that everybody
gets dissed in high school one way or another. The
unpopular kids use Emory's trial to speak out, but
he ultimately drops the charges.
