Description
Step into the courtroom drama in Law & Disorder, a strategy and simulation game where players take on the role of a young lawyer in the United States. Together with a close friend, you’ve just opened your very own law office, ready to take on clients from all walks of life. But not every case is worth fighting for—some clients have legitimate rights protected under the U.S. Constitution, while others don’t. It’s up to you to decide which cases are valid and which ones could waste your firm’s time and reputation. As your law office grows, you’ll encounter clients whose cases tie directly to specific Amendments in the Bill of Rights. To win these cases, you’ll need to hire and manage a team of specialized lawyers, each with expertise in different Amendments. The challenge lies in matching the right client with the right lawyer, ensuring their case is handled effectively. Balance your reputation, resources, and moral choices as you build the most respected law office in the country. Will you uphold justice—or take risks that could cost your firm everything?
