Everything I Need to Know About the Law, I Learned from Comic Books
James
In case you missed it in November, the National Center for State Courts rolled out the first in a series of comic books graphic novels designed to educate jurors and the public about the law.
A press release introducing the Justice Case Files comics describes the plot of the first issue:
Justice Case Files: The Case of Internet Piracy tells the story of Megan, a college freshman who has been charged with theft for downloading music, and her grandmother, Ellen, who has received notice that the city plans to take her house under eminent domain.
According to the ABA Journal, the second issue is already in development and will address identity theft. For those unwilling to buy the 1,000-copy minimum order, a three page sample is available at Wired.
