Abstract

According to Daniel Pink in a Whole new mind, “Mastering of design, empathy, play and other seemingly “soft” aptitudes is now the main way for individuals and firms to stand out in a crowded marketplace”. Legal design, which is the application of the design thinking process to the legal world, can develop such aptitudes in lawyers and revolutionize legal departments. Tim Brown’s, chair of IDEO and board members at Steelcase Inc. and with many design awards, defines design thinking as follows: “Design thinking is a human-centered approach to innovation that draws from the designer's toolkit to integrate the needs of people, the possibilities of technology, and the requirements for business success.” Soon after design thinking started to be applied to the legal world, it was named “Legal Design”.
