LEGAL DESIGN WORKSHOP

The legal design course builds a casebook of problem-solving mechanisms that exist in indigenous, traditional and post-industrial societies. We document the rule of law in all its forms: on the streets, in the courts, in boardrooms, and in community-based organizations.

As a space to archive, study and develop new techniques and technologies to promote the rule of law, the legal design studio is a socio-legal laboratory. We explore best practices of lawyers and jurists at various sites, push the margins of new media and legal technologies and develop investigation skills. To date, caselaw and codes have been the main engine for the development of law and education of lawyers. It is now time to study and disseminate legal precedent, advice, and interactions of legal professionals to create mechanisms for dispute resolution and access to justice.

We are designing new systems to bring many constituencies together for multiple party problem-solving. We mix legal cultures to provide the bar, bench, and society at large with insight into a new kind of legal custom.
