Mark Off Summer Fun with “Summer Law Bingo”!

Summer is here — and while some people are grabbing beach reads and heading for the lake, we’ve got something just as exciting for our fellow legal minds: Summer Law Bingo!

That’s right! We’re mixing sunshine with statutes, and inviting you to explore the quirkier, lesser-known corners of the law while enjoying a bit of summer fun. Whether you’re a student brushing up on niche legal areas or a practicing attorney looking for an offbeat refresher, our bingo card is designed to match your summer experiences that align with the subject matter featured in the books on display!

 What’s on the Summer Law Bingo Card?

Each square on our bingo card is tied to a legal topic that’s as summery as sunscreen — with books ready for you to check out (literally and figuratively). Here’s just a sampling:

  • Boating Law – Learn about regulations on the high seas (or your local lake). Perfect reading before your weekend on the water.
  •  Golf Law – Explore liability for stray golf balls, loss of consortium (?!) Yes, there’s a body of law for that perfect swing.
  • Recreation & Tourism Law – From amusement park liability to hotel safety standards, learn how the law keeps your summer vacations safe, fun, and well-regulated.
  • Legal Issues in Professional Baseball – From antitrust exemptions and player contracts to collective bargaining agreements and stadium liability, America’s favorite pastime has a legal backstory as rich as its history. Great for fans and future sports lawyers alike!
  • Barbecue Law – Whether you’re attending a community BBQ or running a smoker at a festival, dive into the legalities of outdoor cooking.
