INTERESTINGTHINGS WE’VE FOUND OUT
People may be scared of law,and they may dislike lawyers,
but they are hungry for good legal strategies.
Companies & law firms want to hireHYBRID LAWYERS,
but it’s hard for them to find these legal technologists or
legal designers.
Non-lawyers,have to be convinced that
law is something worth working on, but then they
get it –we can find collaborators to work with to make the
legal system better.

WAYFINDERS,they want an overview of their situation &
sight of what their possible paths are.
