if you need an advanced degree to decipher the questions on a form designed to allow poor people to use the court, it's probably an instrument of oppression - not access. 🤔

I had so much fun speaking, drawing, and designing with Center for Agriculture & Food Systems Vermont Law and Graduate School students today. They designed this wonderful wheat farmer character as part of a workshop exercise and I couldn’t resist drawing my own 🌾😍Thank you so much for having me! #legaldesign

Why is sharing legal knowledge a crucial part of anti-subordination lawyering? How might lawyers share knowledge in democratic and creative ways? What the heck were @ashleytreni and I doing last year at Graphic Advocacy Project? We wrote about it! ojs.law.cornell.edu/index.php/joal…

Imagine a new generation of social justice lawyers that understands why AND how to share legal knowledge. It’s happening! (thanks in large part to spaces like Justice Lab and educators like Anna E. Carpenter 🤩)

#A2J solutions won't come from lawyers. It's our job to create circumstances & conditions inviting marginalized communities into the solution, prototyping, ideation & implementation space--while we take a back seat. Ariadna Godreau Aubert, Director ayudalegalpr #ejc2021

"I'd rather me and my lawyer fight the system together than me and my community fight the system together and the only time the lawyer shows up is to "save" us." @jhodypok #EJC2021 #legalaccompaniment not #legalrepresentation

“If we don’t create that space to leave our assumptions at the door and really listen to and learn from our users, we miss that opportunity to make sure that our designs are as intuitive as possible.” -@ashleytreni #ejc21 #legaldesign

“Any time you have the opportunity to talk to people, I think you’ll find that they are eager to be heard.” -Victoria Suwardiman on user-informed #legaldesign at #ejc21

“[User-informed design] is not limited to just technology projects. We want you to be thinking about all the different ways that you interact with your end users, because those are all opportunities to engage in user-informed design.” -Angela Tripp of Michigan Legal Help 🤩 #ejc21

Engaging in user-informed design can seem intimidating, but the best thing to do is jump in! “Start with a small project and try the process. Just try to create that space for listening and learning and see what comes back.” -@ashleytreni #EJC2021 #legaldesign

Hi #lawtwitter I would love if you all could help us spread the word on an amazing new zero-cost program we’ve started for H.S students in NYC in collaboration with the Center for Race, Law and Justice at Fordham University School of Law that teaches the foundational 1L courses.

“I hope legal designers will really let themselves dream, and dream big, and question the way things are, and get playful with ideas of other possible worlds, because they’re gonna be better than this one.” -GAP’s Hallie Jay on why we need radical imagination in #legaldesign
