The contributions range across domains – access to justice, contracts, adjudication, legal education, and more. The case studies show how legal design can make abstract legal rules and processes come to life, empowering their end-users.

Utilising key case studies and providing real-world examples of legal innovation, the book moves beyond discussion to action. It offers a rich set of examples, demonstrating how various design methods, including information, service, product and policy design, can be leveraged within research and practice.Providing a forward-thinking outlook, this book presents an in-depth examination of how a human-centred, visual and participatory design approach can improve legal services and outcomes. Spanning numerous fields of legal practice, from education, housing and contracts to intellectual property, it highlights how visuals, information design and better communication can help prevent and solve legal problems. Chapters explore a new vision of lawyering and its potential to encompass a more creative and collaborative approach to legal practice.Legal Design will be of benefit to students and scholars seeking an up-to-date analysis of current trends related to legal design thinking and execution.
