Description

A game of courtroom strategy. Each player is charged with a crime, arrested and forced to stand trial. OBJECT of the game is to be the first player to win 6 or 12 jurors and thereby be found 'not guilty.' This is done by landing on certain spaces on the board, seizing certain Stop & Frisk cards, and knowing your rights. Trial Lawyer is subtitled "The Jurisprudence Game". Designer and publisher James Vail originally released the game under the name "Jurisprudence" in 1974. According to an insert in the earlier game, the original release of Jurisprudence was limited to 5000 copies.
