Summary

This chapter details ten years of the methods we have deployed in the NuLawLab’s project work with community members, organizations, and legal entities. We begin by examining our approach to interdisciplinary collaboration as it has evolved over time, followed by detailing one such partnership, Stable Ground. We next tackle aspects of participatory collaborative design by examining how we created our RePresent games. The third suite of methods we detail is service design and how we used those concepts to aid survivors of domestic violence during the COVID-19 pandemic. We close by distilling each experience into a handful of takeaways that we hope will prove useful to other legal designers as they consider applying these methods in their work.
