The second weekend of April brought Philadelphia-area residents the first Saturday in a long time that allowed people to stroll along Kelly Drive wearing shorts and short sleeves, while bikes zipped along the crowded paths. As the weather invited people to Rittenhouse Square to soak up the long-forgotten sun, a group of about 25 people spent the day inside a conference room participating in a Legal Design and Innovation Workshop.

Just in the last year, we saw $458 million raised in legal startup venture capital funding, several law schools launching legal technology-focused classes or programs, and more than 20 legal hackathons or innovation-related events conducted on a national scale. The recently held Legal Design and Innovation Workshop was our city’s first step into joining the movement to reimagine and redesign legal products and legal services delivery. Organized by the Philly Law Lab and the Center for Design and Innovation (cD+i), which is affiliated with Temple University’s Fox School of Business, the workshop was an idea competition to address a real legal need, while providing participants with a framework to learn and apply design methodology, get familiar with creative problem identification and problem-solving, and serve as a local catalyst for legal technology and innovation.
