Design in legal publishing

How are designerly ways influencing the culture, processes and outputs of the legal publishing industry; and what impact might this have on legal education? We asked Robin Chesterman, Global Head of Product and Matthew Terrell, Head of Marketing at vLex and Karen Waldron, Director of Product and Matt Wardle, UX Director at LexisNexis. 3 Both publishers have a transnational focus, producing primarily legal materials, including case law series and legislation, and secondary sources, such as commentaries and textbooks, from multiple jurisdictions. While vLex focus exclusively on digital formats, LexisNexis also produce hardcopy products, including managing two hundred years of print legacy. Furthermore, both publishers specialise in innovative interactive online data management and analysis tools with which consumers can make detailed and integrated investigations across a wide range of legal materials.
