What Courtdle is
Each day brings three criminal cases, each with its own set of facts. Your job is to read those facts and decide which charge the evidence proves, choosing between legal options like murder versus manslaughter or robbery versus burglary. The Charge Book lists the elements of every charge, so you can check what must be true before you commit. If you pick wrongly, the defense attorney explains the error and you get one more try. If you choose a lesser crime that the facts also support, that charge sticks and earns you one point. The cases come in three difficulty levels: easy, harder, and hardest. Courtdle is free, requires no sign-up, and runs in your browser with JavaScript enabled. It's a daily docket, so a fresh set of cases arrives each day.
