Course description
This course will give students experience in applying human-focused design thinking as a means of improving the legal system, legal services, and legal information. The course will examine some of the major trends shaping the design and delivery of legal services and will consider the role of lawyering and innovation in responding to these trends. It will provide an opportunity for students to engage in projects that explore change and disruption in the legal profession or legal system, and to consider how people with legal expertise can make justice more accessible for end-users. The course will equip students with knowledge and skills about the methods used to generate creative and useful changes to the justice system.
