  • HOW TO PLAY

    OBJECT OF THE GAME: To collect all 7 NYLS GAMIFY cards. PLAYING THE GAME: Each participating professor has a card for students to collect; but it takes more than just visiting a professor’s office to get the card. Each professor has created one task that a student must complete and present to that professor during their office hours. If the student completes the task to the professor’s satisfaction, the professor will present the student with a card. WINNING THE GAME: The first student to collect all 7 cards wins!

  • HUNTER

    Hey you! The walking Billboard! Task: Find and print out a Trademark registration that relates to an article of clothing that you are wearing. Present your registration to Professor Hunter and collect your card.

  • GRIMMELMANN

    Everyone I know is an artist. Task: Find a copyright registration for a work by you or by someone you have met in person. In order to collect your card present your findings to Professor Grimmelmann and be sure to include (1) the copyright  registration number (2) how you know the person (e.g. teacher, parent, etc.) and (3) the story behind the work.

  • ROIPHE

    Justice is served…with a tv dinner. Task: Find an example of lawyers behaving badly in any TV show (The Good Wife, Law and Order, Boston Legal, The Practice reruns, etc.).  Extra credit if you find that the writers of the show made a mistake (e.g., they represented that something was ethical when it is not or vice versa). Give Professor Roiphe a verbal rerun of the episode to collect your card. Resources: The Good Wife Boston Legal Law & Order: Criminal Intent The Practice

  • FRANKLIN

    Pawn Star? Is that PG? Task: Watch an episode of Pawn Stars. Observe a negotiation over the price of an item to be sold and report to Professor Franklin on which side got the better deal and why. Resources: Pawn Stars Full Episodes

  • BALSAM

    The referee needs glasses! Task: Find the Official Playing Rules of the NFL (available online) and locate the rule titled “Roughing the Passer.”  View the linked video of a play from the December 22, 2011 Texans-Colts game  and explain to Professor Balsam why or why not the Texans’ hit on the Colts quarterback violates any provision of the rule prohibiting roughing the passer.

  • CHAMBLISS

    Law-yers’ Poker… always bluffing. Task: Create a poker hand consisting of five (or seven) news stories about lawyers getting in trouble (as lawyers). (Reputable sources only; The New York Post counts for this purpose, The News of the World does not.) Present your hand to Professor Chambliss to collect your card. The hitch: you can’t use a story that someone else has already used. Resources: Poker Hand Guide
