Visual Law Principles, Challenges & Patterns

Last week I hosted a Visual Law Meetup at Stanford d.school.  You can see a written report of the event over at LegalTechDesign.

From our exercises, sharing & conversation, I took away a bunch of points about visual law.  I’ve sketched them out here to share & reflect on.  I divided them into two sections: takeaway principles & insights that arose, and then challenges that we identified as focal points for future legal design work.
