Our purpose is to afford poor, vulnerable and illiterate people the dignity of autonomously understanding the contracts that they must sign.

[Robert de Rooy @ComiContracts]

@thevisuallawlab @ignazfuesgen @margarethagan #LegalDesign Its a collaborative and multi-disciplinary effort that includes our team of script writers, illustrators, designers, lawyers, clients, and most importantly, the prospective users.

[Robert de Rooy @ComiContracts]

@thevisuallawlab @ignazfuesgen #LegalDesign We try to shape our contracts as journeys, whether it is the steps they need to follow, or the chronology of the relationship, so that the user can follow it intuitively.

[Robert de Rooy @ComiContracts]

@thevisuallawlab @ignazfuesgen #legaldesign Indeed, aspirational characters and cultural sensitivity is very important to get right!

[Robert de Rooy @ComiContracts]

@thevisuallawlab @ignazfuesgen #legaldesign Our primary design criteria are how it engages the user, how easily they understand it, can convert that knowledge into action, and how well they remember it.

[Robert de Rooy @ComiContracts]

@thevisuallawlab @ignazfuesgen @avuka_training #legaldesign Based Margaret Hagan’s “Orders of Legal Design” Comic Contracts lies in the second order, between Plain Language as the first, and Interactive Tools, as the third, but we are working on making Comic Contracts a more interactive contracting experience. @margarethagan

[Robert de Rooy @ComiContracts]

@thevisuallawlab @ignazfuesgen @avuka_training #legaldesign From a design point of view, we don't want our user to feel intimidated by their contract. We want our user to feel empowered.

[Robert de Rooy @ComiContracts]

@thevisuallawlab @ignazfuesgen #legaldesign Agreed, but the client and the user are not always the same people. Important to get the client on board to achieve a user centred solution.

[Robert de Rooy @ComiContracts]

@thevisuallawlab @ignazfuesgen #LegalDesign - In my view, the needs of the users of legal services, so long neglected.

[Robert de Rooy @ComiContracts]

Looking forward to talking Legal Design!
