HISTORICAL: Our goal on this page in the site will be to highlight some of the historical material on the school and distinguished alumni, so we expect the content here to change regularly. Keep checking back to see what is new (or to see what is new that is old).   Well , you get the idea, don't you? As PCU moves into its 81st Year, let's take a look on what was going on in the year in which the school was founded: 1927. HYSTERICAL: Scroll down to the Smiley for funny content from "LAWHAHA" (PCUSBA has an entry); "STRANGE CRIME" (Funny Legal News); "DUMB WARNINGS." (Products Liability) and PAC  MAN (for Criminal Procedure students).

As Professor Giedzinski mentioned in our
Criminal Procedure Class:
 
"Sometimes the Exception  swallowed the Rule, 
 as in the Pac Man Game."
 
So here for illustration purposes only is a Pac Man  Game.
 
TO PLAY, FIRST PLEASE CLICK ON THE PICTURE DIRECTLY BELOW OF THE STUDENTS AT STANFORD UNIVERSITY (who seem to be unusually devoted to this game), THEN FOLLOW THE PROMPTS ON THE "NEAVE GAMES" SITE. (You may need to just temporarily close any Pop-Up Blocker which you may have in order to play. Maybe not. Try it out and see.)
 
ENJOY !!!
