What our students say about the Legal Innovation by Design workshop

March 2024
Taking part in the ‘Legal Innovation by Design Thinking’ workshop revealed to me the transformative impact that legal design can have on the legal sector. The hackathon, from the ideation phase to implementation, was a real challenge, requiring creativity and collaboration at every stage. In just a few hours, we developed an innovative product and structured a concrete proposal for an NGO. This contact with the real world provided a practical application of the knowledge acquired in the theoretical sessions, allowing us to transform concepts into tangible solutions. I'm currently trying to incorporate this innovative approach into my work, with the aim of offering a more personalised service focused on the needs of each client.
Catarina Rocha
The Legal Innovation by Design Workshop was an exceptional experience and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to approach law from an innovative and disruptive perspective. Throughout the workshop, I gained valuable insights into design thinking as a powerful tool for simplifying complex legal concepts and making them more accessible. It bridges communication gaps, allowing various stakeholders to understand the nuances of legal issues more effectively and promoting a more transparent dialogue. One of the main conclusions was the transformative potential of legal design in improving access to justice. Far from oversimplifying information, Legal Design refines and clarifies it, making legal processes more user-friendly, inclusive and equitable. As a law student, I found it particularly inspiring to apply, in a practical context, concepts that I had previously only encountered in theory. Overall, the workshop significantly deepened my understanding of how design can transform the future of law and legal services, positioning it as a vital mechanism for progress.
