Your task
Pick the best choice at each step.
- In a fair hearing, both sides see the evidence before the hearing, so each can prepare an answer. Lawyers call this equality of arms: neither side should have a hidden advantage.
- An invented story to learn from, not legal advice. Laws differ from country to country. For a real problem, talk to a trusted adult or a lawyer.
- Everyone is equal before the law. Nothing about you is collected.
Score
- Understanding justice — You understood how this part of justice works.
- Fairness — You treated everyone fairly and listened to all sides.
- Safe & ask for help — You stayed safe and knew when to ask a trusted adult.
In real life
Equality of arms is part of the right to a fair trial in international human rights law, and in many countries the evidence must be shared before the hearing.

Invented stories to learn from, not legal advice. Laws differ from country to country. For a real problem, talk to a trusted adult or a lawyer; in an emergency call your country's number (112 in the EU). Nothing about you is collected; progress stays on this device.
