  • STRAT 5600: Innovating Legal Svcs

    3.00 Credits
    University of Utah

    This project-based course exposes the ways in which America's civil legal system fails to provide justice for all, explores innovations targeted at addressing that systemic failure, and empowers students to design and launch solutions to the justice gap. The majority of Americans can't afford to hire counsel when confronted with a civil legal need. As a result, they attempt to navigate the civil legal system without representation, or simply do not engage with the system at all. What are the societal implications of that system failure, and what can we do to change the status quo? In this course, students will engage with various community stakeholders to understand: (1) what the civil legal system was designed to do; (2) the role that legal professionals have traditionally played in that civil legal system; and (3) how we might reform and improve traditional service models using creative and disruptive problem-solving skills. Community participants will be invited to collaborate on problem identification and solution building. Each semester, this course will tackle a new design challenge. Prerequisites: Instructor Consent

  • STRAT 5610: UX4 Justice

    3.00 Credits
    University of Utah

    The justice sector is rapidly adopting technology aimed at delivering legal information, legal services, and court services. Citing technology as an emerging access to justice strategy, the justice sector intends to expand the public's access to their civil legal system through reducing barriers associated with travel to physical legal services and courthouses. Although justice sector technology is rapidly expanding across the nation, little attention has been paid to whether the people for whom justice sector technology is intended are able to access and use that technology. And that's a problem, because the people who most need those online services are often the ones who find them hardest to use. This course trains students to apply User Experience (UX) methodologies to the evaluation and design of justice sector technology. UX and its focus on human-centered design helps ensure that people are able to successfully navigate the platforms intended to provide them with digital access to their civil legal system. This is an interdisciplinary, project-based course that engages students in critical thinking and creative problem solving through design thinking, systems thinking, community-based user research, usability testing, and human-centered design. Each semester, this course will tackle a new design challenge.
