Legal design in action: From text-only guidebooks to digital, visual playbooks

Citation: Legal design in action: From text-only guidebooks to digital, visual playbooks, in: Jusletter IT 21. February 2019

In recent years, legal departments and law firms around the world have been busy developing legal guidance for business people to follow. Legal compliance handbooks and policy manuals vary in coverage and title, but many have one thing in common: the guidance remains unread. People prefer to ask the lawyers instead, or ignore the legal aspects of their doings. Legal Design promises to change things for the better. This paper presents the playbook genre as a possible solution to help convey complex messages, clarify tasks, share tools, drive compliance, and prevent unnecessary legal problems.
