Abstract
Movement lawyering frameworks urge advocates to take their lead from ordinary people impacted by injustice, to shift power from legal institutions to communities, and to align legal work with collective movements to transform the law. But how do we do this? Participatory legal design offers promising methods for engaging in meaningful movement lawyering. In this talk, we will explore these methods through the work of the New Jersey Legal Design Lab, an initiative at Seton Hall Law School that facilitates creative, collaborative, and community-driven approaches to housing justice problems in New Jersey.
