« A series of talks with legal design experts
Legal design is an innovative approach that blends law, human-centered design, and user experience to make legal systems clearer, more interactive, and easier to understand. It focuses on simplifying legal communication making the law work for people—not against them.
Why does legal design matter? Most people struggle to understand legal documents, and many individuals are unaware of their rights. Legal complexity creates barriers to justice, compliance, and participation. Legal design wants to tackle these hurdles by making legal systems more accessible through participatory projects, textual and visual simplification, and interactive tools. By transforming legal documents into more accessible and engaging formats, legal design helps bridge the gap between law and users. Building upon concrete and successful legal design projects, new research leveraging rule-based legal automation and machine learning approaches are further enhancing the field of legal design.
In this series of talks with experts in various legal design approaches, we will explore the principles of legal design thinking, learn from concrete use cases, and discover ways to simplify legal processes for citizens without losing precision.
Join this series if you are interested in uncovering the role of design and technology in enhancing legal accessibility and empowering users. »
