Settings & Worlds
Environments to explore and inhabit
Courtroom
The gallery is packed, the judge presides from the bench, and every word echoes off wood-paneled walls. You stand at the counsel table where careers are made and lives are decided.
Law Firm Office
Glass-walled offices, leather chairs, and towers of case files define this high-pressure law firm. You navigate office politics and billable hours while building the case that could make or break your career.

A cold table, bolted chairs, and bulletproof glass separate you from your client. In this stark room, you'll hear the truth—or at least your client's version of it—and build a defense from behind bars.
Judge's Chambers
Behind the courtroom's formality lies the judge's private office, where off-the-record conversations shape the course of justice. You'll argue motions, negotiate rulings, and read the judge's true intentions.
Jury Deliberation Room
Twelve strangers sit around a table with the power to decide guilt or innocence. You're locked in this room until a verdict is reached, and every personality clash and hidden bias threatens justice.
Witness Stand
All eyes are on you as you take the oath and face the lawyers. Every answer you give could shift the balance of the trial, and the cross-examination will test every nerve you have.
Evidence Room
Shelves of tagged exhibits, sealed bags, and chain-of-custody logs fill this restricted room. You'll sift through the physical remnants of the crime looking for the one piece that changes everything.
Law Library
Rows of leather-bound case reporters and legal treatises surround you in this hushed sanctuary of precedent. You'll research deep into the night, searching for the one ruling that can turn your case around.
Deposition Conference Room
A court reporter, a video camera, and a very nervous witness sit across from you in this sterile conference room. Every question you ask is recorded, and one wrong answer could unravel the opposing side's entire case.
District Attorney Office
Campaign posters share wall space with crime scene photos in this politically charged office. You'll balance the pursuit of justice with political pressure and the weight of public expectation.
