What is legal design?

Legal design emerged through the encounter between Stanford Law School and the School of Design (the D. School) leading to the Legal Design Lab in 2013.

Legal design is the methodology application of design thinking in law, to come up with innovative products and services.

The aim is to put the client, the consumer, the public service user, the litigant, at the center of any approach, to design the best processes, products and services.

It's about giving law a new meaning: making it resume its strategic function
