Form Redesigns
What we redesign
Court citations, summons, release and bond forms, and other communications that are often dense, confusing, and hard to navigate
Why it works
People miss key information in cluttered forms
Clear visual hierarchy helps people find what matters
Simplified instructions helps people better understand and follow through on relevant requirements and options for their case
Plain language reduces confusion and anxiety
-
Place critical info, including date, time, location, and consequences of inaction at the top
Use clear headings and visual breaks
Explain consequences of inaction prominently
Provide clear next steps for all requirements and options, either below the court date information or guiding the recipient on where to find more details (on the back side, etc.).
Design for accessibility and translate into relevant languages
Create forms that are easier to understand and help people make their court date
