Fresh approach to legal design
SWPS University's Faculty of Law and Communication in Wrocław is pleased to invite all interested parties to participate in a guest lecture by Astrid Kolhemier, a trained lawyer and a internationally recognized pioneer in legal design.
Although it might not be obvious to everyone, law and legislation significantly impact our daily lives. Whether you purchase a beverage in a store (a sales contract) or watch your favorite TV show (copyright), legislation comes into play. Apart from acknowledging the relationship between individuals and the law, it is essential to understand the laws themselves. However, the nature of legal acts and the way they are written often presents a significant challenge for an average Joe.
In her lecture titled “The Future of Design Beyond the Conventional Design Sectors”, Astrid Kohlmeier, will talk about changes that have been occurring in law education and practical applications of law. She will also explain how design and designing looks like in a seemingly undesignable discipline.
The event is addressed to everyone interested in innovative methods used by professionals practicing the legal profession.
