How to play a judge in LifeSim

Write your judge's name, age, court role, and city in the character text box.
Edit your cast to add a law clerk, a rival attorney, or family members.
Use place search to find a real courthouse or a café near the bench and walk there.
Talk to your clerk and local lawyers in your own words by text or in person.

How other games handle the bench compared with LifeSim

Dedicated courtroom games do a better job of simulating trial rules, evidence puzzles, and sentencing math. In We. The Revolution, you question witnesses and read case files during the French Revolution. In JudgeSim and Judged: A Court Simulator, you check law books and weigh breathalyzer results to calculate fines.

LifeSim does not have evidence menus, law books, or courtroom rooms. Instead, it puts your judge in a real city on a 3D map of Earth. You talk to law clerks, lawyers, and family members in your own words, and they remember what you say.

Prompts that work for a judge character

Type your name, age, city, and court role into one text box to start. Try a prompt like "Elena, 48, a federal judge in Washington, D.C., USA, who reviews complex motions in chambers." You can also try "Lukas, 29, a new probationary judge in Berlin, Germany, handling his first local docket."

For a British setting, write "Arthur, 55, a judge at the Old Bailey in London, United Kingdom, who feels isolated from old friends." You can also edit the other people in your cast, such as your law clerk or your partner. Set daily goals on your to-do list, like meeting a clerk to discuss precedent.

A sample life: the first week on the bench

Arthur starts his new life in London as a full-time judge. On Monday morning, he uses place search to walk to the Central Criminal Court, known as the Old Bailey. The game shows the building from the outside, and Arthur messages his clerk to review the daily docket.

At noon, Arthur plans an outing to a café near the Royal Courts of Justice on the Strand. When he arrives, two former barrister friends grow quiet to avoid any look of bias. On Friday night, a police officer texts him at home to request an urgent arrest warrant. Each day ends with a recap of these moments, and his cast remembers his decisions next week.

The hard parts of the job played as story

Real judges face social isolation because they must avoid any appearance of favoritism. In LifeSim, you can play out this distance when old lawyer friends invite you to a house party. You have to decide in chat whether to decline the invitation or risk an ethical complaint.

You can also roleplay the heavy stress of a crowded docket and late-night warrant calls. If you bring up a recusal conflict during a pre-trial chat, the other person keeps it in their journal. Your conversations and daily choices change your relationships and your health over time.

Questions

No. LifeSim has no courtroom interiors and no trial mini-games. You walk to real courthouses from the outside and play out hearings in open text chats.

Do all real-world judges use a gavel?

No. Judges in the United States use a gavel on the bench, but judges in the United Kingdom never use one.

How do people become judges in the real world?
