TBH Family Law Set

Family Law Set

    Because we're a husband-and-wife team with a soft spot for other entrepreneurial couples, we've created the TBH Family Law Set, which includes Law School in a Box and the Lawsuit!TM board game. Law School in a Box was created by husband and wife lawyers John and Jacquelyn Oña Cascarano. Lawsuit!TM was created by Tina Eskreis Nelson, an attorney and a mom, as a Father's Day gift for her husband, to teach their three children a little bit about what their dad (and mom) do as attorneys. (All right, all right, technically only Tina created this game, but without inspiration from her lawyer-husband and her kids, Tina would be concerned only with lawsuits, not Lawsuits!TM.)

Price: $42.95


Lawsuit!TM is a fun and educational game for adults and children ages 6 and up. Players experience and learn about the law in a fun way as they make their way through law school, past the bar exam and into their own law practice and the courtroom.

The board is divided into 62 spaces. Players proceed through law school; the nitty gritty of running a law practice (hiring a secretary, paying office rent); and the ups and downs of bringing a case (preparing papers for court, going to trial). Players also land on spaces, where they are directed to pick cards describing all sorts of whimsical (and family-friendly!) case scenarios. When a LAWSUIT!TM card is chosen, a player must decide whether to accept the result or appeal it. On an appeal, a player may double or even triple his award—or lose some or even all of it!

Instead of advancing when it's their turn, players may also choose to settle a case by drawing a SETTLEMENT card. Like appealing, settling a case can result in gaining—or losing—part or all of one's recovery.

Players may also double the stakes by "buying in" to a partnership. All awards "and costs" are doubled for partners. Whether or not to become a partner is therefore a key strategic decision, and adds to the suspense and intrigue, as everyone wonders whether it will pay to become one.

Among the many accolades it has received, Lawsuit!TM has been named as Creative Child Magazine's 2007 Game of the Year.

Includes:

  • Game board
  • 3 sets of cards: LAWSUIT!TM, APPEAL and SETTLEMENT
  • Playing money ($250, $500, $1,000, $5,000 and $10,000)
  • 6 playing pieces
  • 1 die
Don't just win a game—win a Lawsuit!TM

Get Law school in a Box and forget about the US News & World Report law school rankings. Sure, you could spend $100,000 on an Ivy League law degree, but then you'd have to deal with crowded classrooms, inconvenient course schedules and rigorous academic study (the worst!) That's why we're proud to offer the very prestigious Law School in a Box, jam-packed with:

  • Law School in 96 Pages: This mini-textbook features Law Lingo (from—quite appropriately—ab initio to vendee), Famous Cases (from Marbury v. Madison to Miranda v. Arizona and beyond), and tons of Supreme Court trivia.
  • 10 Heroes of the Courtroom Trading Cards: They’re all here—Abe Lincoln, Thurgood Marshall, Sandra Day O’Connor—with portraits and famous quotes on baseball-style trading cards.
  • 10 "You Be the Judge" Cards: Put your new legal knowledge to good use! One side features an ethical dilemma—the other side features real courtroom verdicts on the matter.
  • Mini Bar Exam: Ready for trial, Matlock? Not so fast! Better answer these tantalizing legal trivia questions first! They come complete with detailed answers on an accordion-folded exam.
  • Double-sided English/Latin diploma.
Law School in a Box is the perfect gift for past, present and future law students everywhere!
