Who opens up the debate in capital cases?
The Av Beis Din

Any person who's name starts with a zayin
In what shape were the seats of the Sanhedrin situated?
A square
A circle
A half circle
A straight line
There were three rows of talmidei chachamim (aside from the judges) in the Beis Din. If the Beis Din needed a new judge, they would take the talmid chacham from the top of all the seats. Where would the rest of the talmidei chachamim sit?
Where they sat before. The seat of the talmid chacham who became a judge was left vacant.
Each one would move up a seat, and the lowest seat, (now left empty) would be filled by another talmid chacham from the congregation.
Each one would trade their seat with the one above him.
Klick on the things that we learn from the fact that Hashem created only one person (Adam Harishon)?
That everyone else in later generations would be nothing compared to him.
If someone kills a Jew, chas veshalom, it is like he destroyed a world, and if he saves the life of a Jew, it is like he saved a world.
So people wouldn't say, "I come from Adam Harishon #1, so I am better than you, who comes from Adam Harishon #2!"
That a person stamps many coins with one mold, but they all come out the same, but Hashem creates every person like Adam Harishon, but they all came out different!
To show that even Adam Harishon, who was so great, could still eat from the Eitz Hada'as.
Why can't a court judge capital cases on Erev Shabbos and Erev Yom Tov?
Because most people are in a rush on Erev Shabbos and Yom Tov, so the judges might make an incorrect ruling.
Because it is a happy day, and it would not be appropriate to decide guilty on a happy day.
Because if they decide guilty, then they can't pass the law until the next day, but they may not judge on Shabbos and Yom Tov.
