Cartoon interventions for legal engagement, from Jim Greiner

Some quick sketchnotes of a talk from Jim Greiner of Harvard Law School, speaking with Univ. of South Carolina Law School about how to engage people in debt procedures — how to get them to show up in court. They tried to reach out to people in debt proceedings with paper-based, cartoon-based interventions. They created a cartoon character and storyboards to explain the coming proceedings & try to orient and activate the litigants.

Re Cartoons? ‘SOMEONE?’ should create a cartoon strip; the raceless/genderless ‘blob’ is a perfect ‘stooge’ to play lead character…:) Sample:

(Our EveryMan’s ‘Blob’ looking up at a stern, emaciated Judge)
Judge: “Im afraid that under the circumstances I lack Jurisdiction to rule on this.”
Blob: “What if I bought you a nutritious lunch?”
