Pop-Up Legal Services zones

Pop-Up Legal Service Zone
What if we provided coordinated legal-medical-mental health-housing-family-education support all in one big pop-up zone? Like a Food Truck park, with lots of different options to browse around and engage with.

Pop Up Court House

Could we have a traveling courthouse, that offers limited legal services to you in more convenient, and people-friendly places? Like in libraries, in community centers, churches, even festivals?

Some of the services it could help you do:

  • See if you have warrants out against you & deal with them
  • Deal with your traffic tickets
  • Learn about what services are open to you if you have housing, employment, family, or immigration problems

Can’t we get low-touch services out of the courthouse & into the community?

100% Justice Brigade

100% Justice Brigade

What if we had a new Legal Organization — the 100% Justice Brigade — that was all about using design skills to create better services for laypeople. Clearer signage, maps, guides, communications — and full blown new services too!

Pre-Court Preparation Session

Orientation

When people are called into court — like a parent whose kids have ended up in the justice system, or like a person who gets called in to deal with a problem — could we prepare them in a better way?

Give them strategies?

Give them orientation about what the timelines and key things are?

Give them red flags about what to avoid?

Almost like a map and counselor to make sure they’re on track and not doing anything that harms their own case and outcomes?

Mobile document checker

access innovation ideas - mobile document checker

An app or SMS/MMS based tool to let a person get expert feedback on their legal document: Is this correct? What does this mean? Is this ready to go?

We do this by having the person take a photo of it, then sending it on to the Self-Help Center, Law Librarian, Lawyer, or other expert. The expert receives the photo and can then give response to it.

Could we have stations in libraries, hospitals, everywhere that would be easy to ask questions around possible legal problems and see if you can get help? A technical touchpoint that would triage you and send you on your way to help.

Empathy Machines

Law - legal concept - empathy machine

What if we had more legal services that provided people in crisis with empathy? It might be in the form of someone to listen to their story and engage them in conversation. It might be a computer algorithm that gives a sense of conversation and attention. It might be with small interventions in the typical court, legal aid, or lawyer processes that make people feel more ‘listened to’ and ‘understood’.
