Getting to Access to Justice
Bridging regulatory reform and human-centered design & innovation
Professor Margaret Hagan, Director, Legal Design Lab Lecturer in Law, Stanford University, proposes a strategic approach that bridges regulatory reform and human-centered design & innovation activities. Her approach challenges lawyers and other stakeholders in the justice system to support regulatory reform as well as engage in more experimentation in their own practices.
She’ll share examples of policy change and experimentation which have generated the most impact and encouraged access to justice action. This topic is particularly relevant to the legal community in BC given our cutting-edge innovation and recent access to justice initiatives.
