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.
