Get Inspired

Not yet convinced that legal design can also be applied in your legal context? Sign up for our "Get inspired" session and challenge us with your concrete cases. We will show you our legal design alternatives and advise you on how legal design can be used in your specific situation.

What will you learn?

• The bigger picture of legal design 
  What is legal design? Why legal design? What are the application possibilities? What is in it for you as a legal counsel? Which barriers prevent legal counsels from using legal design?
  
  
• Practical understanding of legal design building blocks
  Design thinking: What is design thinking? What does a typical legal design process look like? Which tools can we use in each step of the design process?
  Information design: How to present complex information in a way that makes it most accessible and easy to understand by your target audience? 
  Visual thinking: Why is visual communication so powerful? How to use visual elements (e.g. colour, icons, graphs) meaningfully?
  
  
• To communicate with impact
  What are the most effective techniques to communicate complex information in a clear and user-friendly way based on user research? Which plain language techniques can you use to improve the navigation, readability and comprehensibility of your documents? How to write for your target audience? Writing in plain language: from legal jargon to (inclusive) writing at B2 language level in accordance with the ISO standard for plain language. Can artificial intelligence (e.g. ChatGPT) help with this, and if so, how?
