We The Jury

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

A jury must decide: are the names of two businesses so similar that one is hurt by customer confusion? Learners play the role of a juror who must decide—and convince others—whether Trio Taco and Trio Pizza are too similar. Using interactive features, pupils work through the evidence and try to work against the clock to reach a verdict.
