What are the outcomes of legal design sprints? How these innovation sprints help lawyers and law students in their careers? Why participating in a sprint is no longer an option but a necessity? These are questions I receive all the time when it comes to Legal Design Sprints. 

So I decided to describe some of the results participants get by taking a Legal Design sprint with us. By the same token, I will outline some principles I use whenever I organize innovation sprints for my students that are fun and productive. 

To illustrate such outcomes, I will use some testimonials from both the masterclasses and sprints that introduced the legal community to hands-on experiences in innovation, design and creativity.

Did you see Carol Hannud, our COO at Legal Creatives, was in Belém, Brazil this week to talk about Legal Creatives Design at the first Law + tech event ever held in the region? During the event, speakers from all parts of Brazil were invited to present various approaches for legal innovation, to best inform the legal community in Belém and beyond as to how to innovate. 

Along with amazing speakers in Legal Tech from Belém and other parts of Brazil, the objective for the event was to present pioneer initiatives and solutions in Law Tech and Legal Tech, as well as innovation methods capable of supporting the transformation of legal services in the region.

Remember Ripley, the fictional character and the protagonist of the Alien film series played by American actress Sigourney Weaver, inside a robotic exoskeleton to battle the Alien creature? That was a creative concept, 30 years ago, pure science fiction, and yet now it’s becoming fact.  

In this era when tech innovation is transforming every industry, we in the law industry have to recognize that we have an incredible amount of work to do to catch up. To achieve mind blow innovations, the digital transformation should speed up exponentially, the technological adoption rate should increase dramatically, and customer experience should be placed at the center of all innovations.

The world is changing at an accelerating pace, and yet the incremental innovations we see in law will not suffice to create the change expected...

What are design sprint workshops? How can these hands-on workshops help lawyers? When is the right time to schedule one at a Law firm? These are questions I receive all the time when it comes to Legal Design Sprints and Workshops. So I decided to outline the guidelines I recommend to make Sprints and Workshops both fun and productive.

To illustrate the guidelines, I will use as an example the fastest Design Sprint Workshop I conducted in just 90 minutes (add an extra 30 minutes for presentations), at the Legaltech Fest MX organized by Legal Hackers Monterrey (Mexico) to develop new legal service delivery models. 

 Facilitating a 90-minute Legal Design Sprint at the Legaltech Fest MX in Monterrey, Mexico.

To produce the best possible results in the shortest time possible, I highly recommend three guiding principles for any Design Sprint Workshop. 

We’re excited to announce that we’re working on an upcoming book entitled Creativity is The New Law (working title), as the beginning of a sequel to Legal Creativity and Design. 

Take a look at what our new book will offer, and sign-up to be notified as we get closer to publishing in 2020.

Creativity as the new law will help take the fear out of innovation by uncovering how to:

• Map your strategic positioning and sketch value propositions.
• Create new service models and attractive products for clients.
• Prototype innovative products or services and outlining a customer-centric development plan.

This book aims to be a reference to help lawyers, law firms and startup founders increase the desirability of legal services and products they offer by enhancing their imagination and design abilities to better reduce the risk of wasting time and money with products or services that nobody wants and...
