online civic games

On a frenzied work day, these are sites I should not be visiting–but they are great ideas.

Our Courts (started by Justice Sandra Day O’Connor) provides Do I Have A Right? (a game in which you are a constitutional lawyer), and Supreme Decision (in which you are clerk to a Supreme Court justice).
