The Legal Design Lab team researches, designs, and develops new interventions to ensure access to justice for all.
The Lab team builds and studies new technologies, services, and policies that can empower people who are dealing with legal problems. We coordinate people, ideas, infrastructure, and data that can scale justice innovations. We are working towards a future where courts, legal services, Internet platforms, community groups, government agencies, and other justice institutions better help people resolve their justice problems, protect their rights, and improve their communities with dignity and empowerment. Our Lab designs, pilots, and evaluates new solutions that aim to make the civil justice system more accessible and equitable.
