FreeMOONRISE: MAKING MOON MAN is the exciting prequel to I AM MOON MAN, taking students to the moment MOON MAN was about to change from an idea to an opportunity. Students are there as Kathy Fraser transforms an idea into a fully developed multi-million dollar entertainment empire. But students do not merely study the law, they practice it. Students build an appropriate entity structure for the business and its various revenue streams, form LLCs and or corporations, obtain EIN(s), prepare corporate formalities, draft business and appearance contracts, and pursue copyright and trademark registrations. They may even respond to trademark office actions. Every component is controlled by the professor, allowing MOONRISE: MAKING MOON MAN to be customized for numerous law school and business classes including Intellectual Property, Business Entities, Contracts, Start-Up Law, Entrepreneurship, Business & Business Law Labs, Entrepreneurial Law, or Entertainment Law. Used as a focused classroom exercise or a comprehensive semester project, MOONRISE: MAKING MOON MAN turns legal doctrine into an immersive, practical, and unforgettable professional experience.

FreeOn a street ruled by chaos, one kid dives to catch a ball, and lands on the wrong lawn - the property of Tony "No Baloney." Tony doesn’t forgive. He attacks. He threatens. He steals the ball. But revenge is delivered to his front door. with extra cheese! Watch as a childish prank becomes an all-out war, where pizza, pride, and payback collide. Based on one of many true story from a crazy 80's Staten Island street, The Boys on the Block is "The Sandlot" meets "Goodfellas." However, beneath the laughs, insults, and flying pizzas is a torts exercise wrapped inside a comedy. There's obviously battery, but there's also glorious issue-spotting, an all the traps students have been warned about. The series offers legal study that does not feel like homework. Students get a funny, fast-moving story they actually want to read, packed with torts issues hiding in plain sight. For professors, it is a ready-made classroom tool: memorable facts, conflicting perspectives, outrageous conduct, and endless opportunities that will make students lean forward instead of checking out.

FreeEVERYBODY WANTS BOOBS...Glassware.
Nova Southeastern University
BASED ON A TRUE DISPUTE (In Florida...of Course.)
In "Everybody Wants Boobs…Glassware" a ridiculous souvenir shot-glass, sold in beach shops up and down the east coast, may become the centerpiece of a million dollar lawsuit...and a courtroom full of "Boobs Glassware" stamped "Exhibit." THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED. Being a lawyer is a new adventure every day. The legal arguments are stacked, the claims are top-heavy, and everyone is trying to get a grip on the concept of "Useful articles." In this Tale of Two Boob CEOs, a souvenir glassware maker gets slapped with a cease-and-desist letter (From a Boob Lawyer) over his bikini-body shaped “Boob Shot-glass.” From there, the case gets bigger, bouncier, and really starts shaking as legally things get more exposed by the day. Students must lift, separate, and examine every curve of the law: What is expression? What is function? When does a shot-glass stop being a shot-glass? Will this Plaintiff support his argument, or will your students prevent the boob job of the century? A TRUE STORY - BASED UPON A REAL DEMAND TO CEASE & DESIST...and the Boobs who sent it.

Freebased upon a real lawsuit! NIKE v. KOOL KIY is not a fake classroom hypo about “likelihood of confusion.” It’s a full-contact intellectual property war where art, hype culture, sneakers, street art, branding, litigation strategy, and billion-dollar corporate power collide... in real time. Students inherit a bleeding client: a Brooklyn sneaker artist trapped in a catastrophic federal lawsuit with sneaker behemoth Nike. The client’s current legal team may have already destroyed his future. Now you must decide whether to fight, pivot, negotiate, redesign, leverage culture, weaponize business reality, or save the client from himself. This project forces students to think like actual entertainment and IP lawyers --- not law students memorizing buzzwords. One bad strategy could bury the brand forever. Will your students be the savior...or the shovel?
