Introducing the Legal Design Journal: A Home Where New Ideas Can Grow

This short piece introduces the Legal Design Journal. It argues that the development of a journal has been a necessary complement to other activities that have helped build legal design into a cognate discipline and field of practice. It posits that a specialised journal will help legal design research scholarship to become more coherent and more critically self-reflective. The article goes on to outline how the Journal was created as a deliberate design project, drawing on user-research, co-creation, ideation and prototyping.
