In a move expected to benefit both companies, Court TV's web visitors choose "games" then "Legal Pursuit" from the options available on the website. Next, they choose the level of difficulty. A question appears, and they select an answer from the multiple choices available. (There are more than 100 questions in total.) The on-line judge pounds his gavel and indicates whether or not the answer is correct. In addition to hosting the "Legal Pursuit" game, Court TV is selling individual cases of the award winning "D.A.
