Matt Sawchak and Marcus Gadson jointly found a company, Elysium Gaming Systems (domiciled in North Carolina), to compete with Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft. They design a console called the Legal Entertainment System ("LES"). The system allows players to complete engaging civil procedure hypotheticals and role play as delegates at various state constitutional conventions. The console can be used either as a virtual reality headset for single-player mode, or it can output to a TV so whole families or groups of friends can play together.
