Legal Design Thinking and Legal Visualization. Towards an Understandable EU Law

Description

The objective of this project is to apply “legal design thinking” and legal visualization techniques to facilitate the understanding and access to EU Law and the functioning of its Institutions. Specifically, so that it is more citizen-oriented to cope with idiomatic, formative and cultural barriers. New trends defend the need of visualising legal information proposing new formats for presenting legislation using design principles and methods to improve public access. In order to achieve a better relationship between the EU policies, goals and law and the EU citizens the format needs to be continuously improved and simplified. This includes the need for clear, regular, open and timely communication with Europeans. Implementing effective communication strategies is, therefore, a challenge in enhancing EU inclusive approach. In order to build this relationship between the EU and its citizens based on trust, the EU should provide all the necessary information related to its policies, institutions and, at the same time, informing the citizens about their rights. But it is also essential that the Europeans knows his/her rights and guarantees and above all, he/she must understand them. Therefore, a paradigm shift that the project wants to introduce in the way of approaching legal studies is based on the need for the jurist to study the norm collaborating with other disciplines to design mechanisms that allow communicating complex information that help both, understanding the law and decision making.Therefore, we propose an “Innovation” project that explore new angles and different methodologies aimed at making EU subjects more attractive and adapted to various kinds of target population. The possibility to use a more visual design to communicate complex EU law information will help to achieve a “design for understanding” and a “design for decision-making” that will facilitate the approximation of the EU citizens to the EU policies and institutions.
