Summary

The Open Law Lab blog was one of the first concerted efforts to articulate the promise for design in the legal space. This chapter details the work of legal design pioneer Margaret Hagan, with a particular emphasis on the challenges legal design academics face in securing respect for design methods from faculty of US law schools. It proposes that, by combining pedagogical innovation with rigorous evaluation of law and design student learning outcomes, legal design can claim its place at the forefront of academic innovation.
