Architecture and engineering are hardly what you think of when redesigning a law firm, at least when the redesign goes beyond the physical. But Yves Faguy in the National, the Canadian Bar Association’s magazine’s website, outlined how lawyers can learn from their more contemporary professional peers.
“The missions of law and design are not that separate and [are] quite powerful if you bring them together,” Margaret Hagan, the codirector of the Program for Legal Technology and Design at Stanford University, told the National. “If law is all about making society more fair and just, design is really about making things that people want to use and that they can use to empower themselves,” she said, noting the discussion about legal innovation centers too much around technology, and not enough around design.
