LAWFUL DESIGN

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Legal requirements and design constraints should work together rather than against each other, with lawyers and designers collaborating early in the process instead of retrofitting legal elements after a design is complete. Examples like consent agreements and cookie banners show that the most ethical, low-friction, and legally defensible solutions are often one and the same when both disciplines are properly aligned. Legal phrases like "clear and conspicuous" are actually design specifications that call for thoughtful information hierarchy, rather than simply piling on more disclaimers or fine print.
