Introducción

How effective is a legal system that people cannot understand
how to use? How can we use participatory, creative design methods
in public institutions to serve people better? These questions, planteado
by guest editors Margaret Hagan and F. Kürşat özenç, are at the
heart of this special issue: The Rise of Legal Design. They are undeni-
ably design questions, involving issues such as usability, capacidad,
human-centered and service design. In their effort to answer these
preguntas, contributors to this issue apply the skills, methods, y
insights of design theory and practice to promote greater transpar-
ency and accessibility throughout the legal system. A special issue
like this operates on multiple levels. It focuses attention on a sig-
nificant topic and weaves together the threads of earlier work. Como
semejante, this issue marks an important milestone in the maturation of
significant areas of inquiry. Long-time readers of Design Issues, para
ejemplo, will recognize links between the arguments presented
here and previous work published in this journal such as Liesbeth
Huybrechts, Katrien Dreessen, and Ben Hagenaars’s Building
Capabilities Through Democratic Dialogues (volumen. 34, No. 4 Otoño
2018), Marc Steen’s Organizing Design-for-Wellbeing Projects: Usando
the Capability Approach (volumen. 32, No. 4 Otoño 2016), Ezio Manzini’s
Design Culture and Dialogic Design (volumen. 32, No. 1 Invierno 2016), y
Andy Dong’s The Policy of Design: A Capabilities Approach (volumen. 24,
No. 4 Otoño 2008). The Rise of Legal Design is a notable step in the
process of building a bridge between communities of expertise both
legal and design. On another level, this issue is an important part of
the effort to promote greater rigor, develop appropriate metrics,
and collect the kind of case studies that can support evidence-based
arguments for legal design and identify best practices. As this spe-
cial issue demonstrates, the design community has much to contrib-
ute to the development of legal design. Al mismo tiempo, hay
ample evidence here that designers have much to learn from their
peers in the legal profession.
