Tribunalia. Here is my opinion

Authors

Abstract

This paper presents the development process of the Tribunalia tool, a three-dimensional representation of a courtroom, similar to a board game, based on the approaches of legal Design and child-friendly justice, which allows children to learn about the courts and how they work, to make the judicial process a less stressful experience, avoiding their re-victimization. The tool was developed in a transdisciplinary Design process that involved various professionals through stages that involved its ideation, conceptual development, and initial prototyping. Later, with the participation of students from the Design program at Universidad de Chile, it was rethought, iterated, prototyped, and a reproducible prototype was manufactured by semi-industrial means to allow for its implementation within the Chilean legal system. To account for this process, the article presents the concepts of User-Centered Design, Design Thinking and Legal Design and/or for justice, establishing a theoretical relationship between them, as well as the social, legal, and psychological foundations that gave rise to the tool. Subsequently, the project Design methodology and the details of the final proposal are presented, concluding with the discussion and reflections on its implementation and future development.
