Our Mission: Using real life stories and personal examples, bullies, bystanders and victims will understand there are alternatives to violence and solutions to hate. Respect and responsibility is also the focus of the third person in the triad of bullying: the bystander. We must let them know they are morally involved. Empowering the bystander and giving them responsibility is of critical importance.

Dear Members,

THE COURT GAME

Universities such as Florida A&M, Texas Southern, Spelman, and others are in discussions to use this site in coordination with their Student Activities program and Law Departments, giving students a ‘student mediation opportunity’ while shaping their written legal argument skills, presenting them to a wider and more mobile “mock jury”. At no cost, your school is invited to use, Thecourtgame.com.

This site was designed as an anti-bullying alternative, in the form of an on-line multi-player moot courtroom game, where people express their differences in written form, and with a potential jury of worldwide strangers deciding the outcome. It becomes a fun, interactive and a mobile modern way to settle disputes. As an added security feature, we automatically purge all information/comments etc… collected, within 48 hours, and require sign-in to prevent cheating without hindering the games easy playability. Remember Face Book and Twitter live forever.

How the Game Works

The game is patterned on a Civil Circuit Court, and is not legally binding on anyone.

1. You / plaintiff click on the “I CHALLENGE YOU” button and fill in the asked for information. You must always log-in with your screen name or nick name and e-mail address, to prevent cheating. When you press submit, an e-mail is sent to the defendant with an area outlining their “alleged transgressions”. Challenges may also be viewed by clicking on the “VIEW CHALLENGE LIST”.

2. They click on the direct link in the e-mail and they are sent to an area where they may reply.

3. Once posted, they are taken to the courtroom where plaintiff and defendant may post live questions and answers to each other, and the worldwide jury can come to the site, sign in and post live time comments, ask live time questions and vote once from that address. A live-update meter records the percentage of the vote for both defendant and plaintiff. You may use your own time limit using the count-down clock on the page. The final verdict is registered within 24 hours.

4. You the activities staff can post questions to the jury from your staff computers. You pick the subject as plaintiff, using one screen name and e-mail address, reply as the defendant with the opposing viewpoint, using another screen name and e-mail address and the subject is set. You may use the Mr. /Ms. /Mrs., box to enter the topics subject. Anyone else entering the “subject line/ case” will automatically become a jury member. From the two screen names and e-mail addresses you used, you can control or limit any further written comments from both the plaintiff and defendant for this subject, because you are both. The game is so versatile it can be used by families, radio stations, television stations and many other things.
