Abstract: The invention is a system and method for electronic and interactive legal education. In one embodiment, a computer system presents a student with interactive virtualized scenarios. These scenarios present a variety of available actions to the student. Each available action corresponds to one or more legal principles to be taught in a particular scenario. In another embodiment, the scenarios are presented to the student as a role-playing game. The game could be won depending on the legal outcomes of the actions taken by the student. The scenarios presented by the game could be reenactments or simulations of legal cases or controversies. The game could allow the student to play the role as a character involved in the cases or controversies. The game could allow the student to choose between a plurality of non-attorney parties as their character.
