Retired U.S. Supreme Court justice Sandra Day O’Connor took an unusual step yesterday: speaking at the Games For Change conference, she unveiled a forthcoming video game called Our Courts designed to teach young people about the U.S. justice system and the role of the judiciary in the three-branch system of U.S. government. Developed by Georgetown University’s law school and Arizona State University, the free online game will be unveiled in two phases: the first will be an online civics program aimed at grades 7–9, while the second will be a more gaming-driven offering designed to engage young people in their free time.
