The first week of the Citropranette trial started with the Wall Street Journal article that criticized N.A.R., referring to it as a cartel. The defense argued that the article showed a bias against N.A.R. and its model. The plaintiffs focused on the training materials and claimed that they highlighted the lack of transparency regarding commissions and the misconception that they are not negotiable. The defense countered by stating that the training materials demonstrated the importance of negotiating commissions. The jury's response to the plaintiffs' arguments and expert testimonies will play a crucial role in determining the outcome of the trial.
