I thought we needed to develop a program in the civics area, starting first with the courts and put it online with the computer and develop some actual participatory games to be played by the students that teach them as they’re going about the judicial system, and we’re well under way with that.

We have two groups – one at Arizona State University and one in New York – working on interactive games to teach young people about the operation of the courts. I’m very excited about it. It’s going to be on a free website. I’ve had lots of consultations with teachers to make sure the end result is compatible with the teaching requirements for the various states, and we should be online with these programs within less than a year.
