Raz asked what ‘law’ – at a meta level – was for, and answered that its function was to guide human behaviour. The further characteristics and structures of law and legal systems that he derived from this meta-function were framed by the technical and social possibilities as they appeared in the 1970s. These possibilities, like so much else, have been disrupted and expanded by the digital revolution. The fact that citizens are now directly accessing primary law raises challenges for how readable and comprehensible that law is. It is in addressing this need for comprehensibility that visualisation can make a uniquely important contribution.

Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Arianna Rossi Gabriele Lenzini Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2020-02-21 Description An account of the resource Lately, icons have witnessed a growing wave of interest in the view of enhancing transparency and clarity of data processing practices in mandated disclosures. Although benefits in terms of comprehensibility, noticeability, navigability of the information and user’s attention and memorization can be expected, they should also be supported by decisive empirical evidence about the efficacy of the icons in specific contexts. Misrepresentation, oversimplification, and improper salience of certain aspects over others are omnipresent risks that can drive data subjects to wrong conclusions. Cross-domain and international standardization of visual means also poses a serious challenge: if on the one hand developing standards is necessary to ensure widespread recognition and comprehension, each domain and application presents unique features that can be hardly established, and imposed, in a top-down manner. This article critically discusses the above issues and identifies relevant open questions for scientific research. It also provides concrete examples and practical suggestions for researchers and practitioners that aim to implement transparency-enhancing icons in the spirit of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Mik, Eliza Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2020-02-21 Description An account of the resource Not every legal rule can and should be visualized. The limits of visualization are set by the substance of the legal rule in question and the characteristics of the addressee, including the context in which he or she encounters the visual representation of the rule. Too complex a visualization – and the very purpose of visualization is lost as it does not present an improvement over the original, textual expression of the rule. Too simple (or simplistic?) a visualization – and the substance of the legal rule may be reduced or modified to a point that it becomes misleading and prone to misdirect action. At a basic level, the visualization of legal rules must not understate or overstate the risks of non-compliance, it must adequately inform and guide behavior. Consequently, we must not only select the best method of visualizing a given rule but also select the rules that are the best candidates for visualization.

Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource O’Neill, John L Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2021-02-23 Description An account of the resource Accessibility is the means of enabling everyone to participate in society as independently as possible. People with disabilities are those most often concerned about accessibility because of the many barriers they continue to encounter. The United States has passed laws with the objective of making society more accessible. This includes access to information. Still, there are significant ableist attitudes that prohibit people with disabilities from having their right to information respected. Discussions about accessibility surged at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic as people became more dependent on accessing information from the web. This article will explore different disability models to understand the oppression of people with disabilities. It will examine how the different principles and methods of Universal Design, Universal Design for Learning, and Inclusive Design can be combined in innovative ways to ensure that all citizens have access to information without barriers.

Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Cols, Florence Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2021-02-23 Description An account of the resource This paper explains how we rewrote the Belgian Letter of Rights. This is the document that arrested persons receive, which explains to them what their rights are: the right to remain silent, the right to obtain legal assistance, the right to receive medical help, etc. The problem is that this document is not appropriate for persons to correctly understand their rights, especially as they receive it in a stressful context. They are unaware of their rights, or they don’t know how to exercise their rights. We rewrote the Belgian Letter of Rights, in order to make it clear, understandable and efficient for persons under arrest.This paper presents the steps and methodology we followed.It also presents the results and impact we hope for this project. This impact is mainly to provide better access to justice because the first step towards justice is to understand rights and obligations.

Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Luttermann, Karin Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2021-02-23 Description An account of the resource The rights of persons with disabilities have been strengthened in the past years. The impulse came from the passing of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and its adoption in many parts of the world. In Germany, its ratification has led to numerous measures (laws, projects) for the creation of an inclusive society. Language is of special importance in this context. Easy Language is a form of barrier-free communication and is meant to make (specialist) information and (professional) communication accessible to certain target groups (among others, persons with mental disabilities, aphasia, German as a second language). It originated from practice-oriented work. Theoretically and empirically assessing its possibilities, potentials and limits urgently requires linguistic research, too. On a text linguistic basis, the contribution argues for the use of Clear Language and for a wider perspective on the concept of lay persons within expert-lay communication. The key question is how legal texts can be clearly formulated and conveyed to the addressees (including the average person)? – What is offered here is a sound solution: the Comprehensibility Model of Legal Language (“Rechtslinguistisches Versta?ndlichkeitsmodell”).
