And for those interested in seeing how such design thinking might play out in a dispute resolution context, visit the website of British Columbia’s Civil Resolution
Tribunal, aimed at strata (condominium) disputes and civil disputes up to $5,000. Based on several years of “legal knowledge engineering,” the site guides people through the legal process using visuals, plain English, answers to frequently asked questions,
and simplified translations of the guidelines in several languages commonly spoken in immigrant populations, particularly in the Lower Mainland of BC. In order to access the system, you have to first use the “Solution Explorer,” which asks a series of questions
in order to determine the right path to follow (for example, if you are in the Employment module and say you were injured on the job, it will direct you to Worksafe BC, since this area of the law is governed by workers’ compensation legislation). Try it out—the
link is below.

Indeed design thinking in law is a growing field. There is expanding and interesting work on visual contracts in universities such as Stanford, UWA and UoM
and also in corporates, particularly in dealing with communities who are marginalised or disadvantaged.

I’m not sure what the silly season stuff subject line is saying here Andrew. I think that like other silly season stuff eg delicious food favourites, taking
time to reflect on the year, there are some interesting opportunities that arise when we consider what ‘silly’ means in contract formation and contract law. And the ‘comicbook’ description can be misleading.
