Shared knowledge, best practices, and field guides
As we work in the justice innovation space, we have built some essential knowledge on strategies, methods, and best practices that can be of use to others who are working in this space.
We share them with you, so that you can improve your ability to create a more fair, accessible, and usable legal system.
Reading List on Justice Innovation
Our Lab has a library of academic articles & practitioner-oriented reports about how to design, scope, and test better interventions in the civil justice system.
It includes reports on legal needs, evaluation instruments, studies of what works, and proposals of the top ideas to reform the justice system.
