NEW YORK, June 8, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Practising Law Institute (PLI) is pleased to announce another new addition to the Interactive Learning Center, a product line of innovative, learning-by-doing programs. The Internal Investigation Game is an entertaining and immersive "serious game" in which players plan and conduct a corporate internal investigation as associates with a fictional law firm.

This engaging, self-paced simulation, created with the assistance of experts Theodore Banks (Scharf Banks Marmor LLC and Compliance & Competition Consultants, LLC) and Rebecca Walker (Kaplan & Walker, LLP), challenges participants to perfect a variety of legal skills, including planning and conducting witness interviews, fact gathering and reporting findings to company management. Throughout the game, players are faced with increasingly difficult challenges and are guided by a senior mentor providing constructive feedback when mistakes are made.

"In this serious game, we don't tell you how to perform an internal investigation; we put you in charge of one. The general counsel briefs you on the matter; you conduct virtual interviews and deliver a report to senior management. So in this course, not only will you learn the process of an internal investigation – you will run it," said Chris Rousseau, Director of PLI's Research and Development Division.
