Sandra Day O'Connor, who was the first ever female Supreme Court Judge, is making a video game which will teach US citizens about the way the legal system works. The game is going to be called Our Courts and will be made by Georgetown University law school and Arizona State University. Our Courts will be available for free online.
However, not everyone in the legal profession seems to share his point of view. Sandra Day O'Connor, America's first female Supreme Court judge, has announced that she is working on a game to educate US citizens about how the legal system works, reports Reuters.
The 78-year-old, who is now retired after serving over 25 years on the job, has become involved in a game project called 'Our Courts.' The game is being developed by Georgetown University law school and Arizona State University, and will be available for free online.
O'Connor explained, "It will allow students to engage in real legal issues... If we can capture just a little bit of that time to get them thinking about government and civic engagement rather than playing shoot-'em-up video games, that's a huge step in the right direction." One example she gave of a situation which would be in the game was a scenario of a school attempting to stop students wearing a T-shirt with a controversial slogan--designed to provoke discussion about the First Amendment.
