There is an interesting article on the blog, Law School Innovation, about the future of simulations in legal education.  The article discusses the work of Paul Maharg, author of Transforming Legal Education.  He argues that the future of legal education heavily involves the use of virtual worlds and simulations.  He helped to create the system, SIMPLE, which is used in law schools in Scotland and England.
