Abstract

Legal Design Thinking is a user-centered methodology designed to address complex legal problems from an innovative perspective. This article focuses on its transformative capacity, demonstrating its relevance across legal domains and how it can generate consistent and effective results in diverse contexts. Through the analysis of the crime of rape in the criminal justice system, it exemplifies how this methodology allows the development of human-centered, accessible, and broadly applicable solutions. This approach reaffirms that Legal Design Thinking is a methodological tool with the potential to innovate in the design of more inclusive and efficient legal systems.
