![]() ![]() After introducing research-based criteria of good documents, this paper illustrates, with case studies, how information design and visualization have been applied to improve legal documents: Wikimedia Foundation’s new, user-friendly trademark policy a law firm’s award-winning advice letter template and complex legal texts transformed into easy-to-use layered information.

Government ministries, institutions and sponsors are important partners whose contributions ensure we can continue our work.Legal materials are widely available, online and offline.
