Abstract

The article explores the experience of introducing Legal Design into the field of law. The reasons for the popularity of legal design and the reasons for its introduction into law enforcement practice and the field of lawmaking are revealed. It is noted that the main factors in the active use of the institution of legal design in law enforcement practice are the opportunities for wider access of citizens to legal information. It is concluded that in Russia the ideas of Design Thinking are just beginning to be cultivated among lawyers about the thought of the end user, which can pave the way for “people-oriented” lawmaking.

The purpose of the study is to determine the role of legal design in identifying the problems of ensuring the right to access to information. The concept of legal design has been researched, its distinction with related concepts has been given: design thinking and visual law. The author's concept of legal design is proposed.

Using the formal legal and systematic methods, as well as the method of social modeling, two trends were identified at the present stage of the application of information technologies in the legal profession: 1) democratization of access to legal information; 2) overcoming excessive formalism in its understanding by non-specialists.

Conclusion: in modern Russia, design thinking is no longer a “new thing” for lawyers, because it is increasingly penetrating into various areas of legal practice, for example, as drafting normative legal acts. However, the issue of using design tools in jurisprudence should be approached comprehensively, identifying not only the difficulties of providing citizens with wider access to legal information, but also the lack of, on the one hand.
