Redesigning Housing Court

The NuLawLab is partnering with the Massachusetts Trial Court and the design consultancy IDEO to tackle a fundamental redesign of Housing Court. This five-year effort will use service and system design methods to approach the challenge from the perspective of the full range of end-users of our courts – represented and unrepresented parties, attorneys, judges, clerks and administrators, jury members, and many others.

Project

Witnessing Hate: A Social Justice Archive of the Present

We are collaborating with the NULab for Texts, Maps, and Networks and the Institute on Race and Justice to create a crowd-sourced digital archive to document incidents of hate speech and acts of violence inspired by racism, homophobia, and xenophobia. Our efforts are focused on running a trauma-informed collaborative design process that will engage victims of past hate crimes in designing key aspects of the archive, and articulating the means by which the archive connects victims to resources for legal redress.

Project

Veteran Caseworkers Triage Platform

Working in partnership with Stateside Legal, our team will bring their innovative design process to bear on the challenge of identifying how to most effectively enable non-legal caseworkers to notice legal problems which present barriers to their veteran-clients and to act to enable their veteran-clients to resolve those problems. Our primary goal for this project is to utilize our co-design process to better inform the development of an online triage technology that will more effectively match veterans and caseworkers with the right organization for their needs across the country.
