Abstract translated
In this paper, we propose a new approach to Legal Design. Such an integrative conceptual approach is necessary to address the complexity of the legal system and its multidimensional challenges through several sense making lenses and explanatory frameworks. as society moves from consumption and recently communication into digitalization. As a multi-lens approach, a Legal Design framework theory may leverage from different disciplines in order to propose a robust theoretical foundation that helps to make sense of the experience and practice of Legal Design. In order to foster the academic discussion, we propose some theories from which a framework theory could be built on namely (i) autopoietic systems from Maturana and Varela1 (ii) social systems theory from Luhmann (iii) autoreferential systems theory by Iba and (iv) Design theory by McKim.
