Take a Break and Play a Law-Themed Game in the Learning Commons

October 31st, 2017 by becassidy and tagged Fun


Did you know that there are law-themed games available for student use in the learning commons? They are on top of the blue cabinet to the right when you enter (see photos).

Some of the available games :

Passing the Bar – Passing the Bar allows students to learn the graduate material required to pass the national state-monitored bar exam in an enjoyable setting. It is fun for both students and trained professionals to test their skills. Questions from older bar exams used.

Blind Justice – Blind Justice uses 168 condensed versions of actual damage claims in the US courts, with players representing the plaintiffs and defendants. As they win or lose cases, by skill or chance, players rise through the court system and win by earning money.

Salem – Salem plays over the course of four rounds representing the four months (June-September 1692) in which the hysteria of the Salem witch hunt was at its height. During the witch hunt, players send residents to jail and provide alibis for their own jailed citizens. At the end of each round, all jailed citizens stand trial. Players then collectively decide who is hanged and who is spared. The player who is most successful at discerning witches from villagers wins!

Real Dumb Laws – Can you guess which dumb law is the real dumb law? Based on the book 101 Real Dumb Laws, this board game uncovers real laws from all across the country. At the start of each round, players are read the beginning of a law and given four choices, only one of which is correct.

Greater Evil – Greater evil a strategic version of the game “Bullshit” with a political twist. Players shamelessly pander, lie, call each other liars, and play Presidential Candidates in a reckless fight to win the support of campaign backers.
