Family of Black Lawyers Create Revolutionary Board Game to Combat Mass Incarceration Through Legal Education

Black family of attorneys who created the Crime No Crime board game

Nationwide — After witnessing the devastation of countless families due to unintentional severe legal violations, Attorneys Eartha and Lonnie Johnson, along with their adult attorney children decided to do something about it. The result was Crime No Crime, a fun, Family Feud-style board game that presents players with real-world scenarios that require them to determine if actions constitute crimes and if so, assess the often surprising severity of the infractions.

“After years of seeing families torn apart due to legal ignorance, we realized legal education needed to be more accessible and engaging,” said Eartha Johnson. “Crime No Crime transforms complex legal concepts into digestible information that could literally save families from tragedy.”

The game addresses a critical gap in public legal knowledge, particularly relevant given the current mass incarceration crisis. Players navigate through various scenarios while developing a deeper understanding of legal consequences.

“What makes Crime No Crime unique is its ability to teach serious legal concepts in an entertaining format that resonates with both children and adults,” explained Lonnie Johnson. “When people know better, they do better, and that’s exactly what this game enables.”
The Johnson family’s combined legal expertise spans prosecution, defense, and judicial experience, ensuring the game’s content accurately reflects the current legal landscape while remaining accessible to the general public.
