After having worked in the legal field for two years, I began notice a pattern with clients. Several clients had an unrealistic view of the court system in regards to trial proceedings. Often times, I would come across clients that were perplexed by the idea of disclosing witnesses and exhibits to the opposing party before trial. They seemed to believe that evidence was only meant to be disclosed at the time of trial, so as to surprise the opposing side. This is just one of the many distorted ideas that several people have come to me with. I can tell that the clients feel upset and overwhelmed by how the reality of court differs from the court that they had been imagining.
These patterns in client questions and realizations, began my thinking of how to better raise awareness to Americans regarding realistic dealings in the courtroom. This desire to find a means to help people unfamiliar with the legal system better understand the rules of the court, paired with my love for card games, led me to create Judge and Jury, a card game about the legal system.
