A2J by Design: Prototyping Innovative Solutions with Open Legal Information

Duke Law by Design facilitators Kelli Raker & Casandra Laskowski will lead participants in a hands-on workshop using design thinking methodology to prototype solutions to the access to justice gap. After providing a brief background to the methodology, participants will prototype innovative solutions to an A2J issue discussed earlier in the Symposium. The workshop will cultivate participants’ creative problem-solving skillset and empower them to lead their own initiative at their home institutions.
