FreeI AM MOON MAN® turns entertainment law into a full-scale brand war involving copyrights, trademarks, contracts, talent agency law, nightlife culture, social media empires, merchandising, comic books, anonymous performers, and millions of dollars in disputed intellectual property. The mysterious DJ MOON MAN is selling out shows and festivals world-wide. No one has ever seen his, or her, true face...but if someone did, would it even be the correct face? Inspired by real world entertainment industry dynamics and played in the style of a "Live" client file, I AM MOON MAN forces students to think like real-world entertainment lawyers - balancing legal doctrine, business leverage, human emotion, branding strategy, and litigation risk. Players can't merely identify issues! Players must use their legal and life skills to determine WHAT IS MOON MAN? With so much input from so many individual, WHO IS MOON MAN? Two very different people with different skill sets both claim, "I AM MOON MAN." Is either correct? Are both? Who truly owns the MOON MAN identity and business? Can MOON MAN survive without its true creator? PROJECT: I AM MOON MAN forces players into a game of...what happens when a fictional character becomes more valuable than the person behind, or inside, a story.

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?

FreeTHAT'S EATER-TAINMENT: FRANK & DINO's ITALIAN RESTAURANT
Nova Southeastern University
Dead Celebrities. Live Lawsuits. Huge Profits.
THAT'S EAT-ERTAINMENT transforms a glamorous Boca Raton Rat Pack restaurant into a legal minefield involving Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., publicity rights, trademark law, copyright licensing, music usage, memorabilia, branding, and the economics of nostalgia. Students are hired as entertainment counsel to a booming restaurant chain accused of cashing in on dead celebrity identities without permission. The deeper they dig, the uglier—and more fascinating—the business realities become. This project forces students to confront one of entertainment law's hardest truths: sometimes the entire business model is built on borrowed fame. Behind the velvet ropes, candlelight, and martinis sits a brutal legal question: where does homage end and infringement begin?

$99.99NERF NATION ARENA turns a fast-growing foam-blaster entertainment league into a high-stakes securities and business-law crisis where the real danger is not the game — it is raising money illegally. Built around the explosive growth of a fictional competitive entertainment startup, the project forces students to navigate private placements, investor solicitation rules, securities exemptions, sponsorship deals, liability exposure, corporate structure, influencer marketing, and the razor-thin line between aggressive fundraising and securities fraud. Students must advise founders desperate to scale quickly without triggering catastrophic SEC attention. This project transforms startup hype, entertainment culture, and entrepreneurial ambition into a brutally realistic exercise in modern capital investment law and securities.

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.
