MY OWN EXPERIENCE OF MUN 2015
With my research in hand and legal issues in mind, I came to the legal committee still unaware of how my character would fit into the group dynamic. My committee was surprisingly cohesive, with no traitors and little disagreement about major substantive issues. I would need to find a way to stand out. I knew I needed to gain trust and demonstrate to my chair that I was serious. So I started to put my legal plans in place to the benefit of the committee. By always writing notes to legal and to other delegates, I managed to participate in committee actions and going beyond debate to push the committee forward. A key part of why I was able to succeed is because my legal plans and notes were significantly improved after researching the legal issues of all the world. I learned to remember that legal staff and the dais are human, and that respecting them makes them far more receptive to your plans. But don’t be afraid to have some fun, everyone needs a smile after 6 hours of committee! Also, by keeping my legal plan in mind, I was able avoid sending notes which were irrelevant and likely to be rejected. Finally, I was able to use my research to make detailed notes. The most credible note isn’t just creative, it includes details that the real character would include!
In the end of M.U.N we had to present our legal resolutions:
