Scenario library

Please explore the scenarios here, which the Legal Help Commons team is considering taking on as priorities for tech development. Each scenario names a person with a legal problem, the legal outcome that would resolve it, the outcome that matters in their life, and one story of how the service works today. Working groups pick a scenario and work on it together. The stories are drafts written for people to argue with, and the same story told in another place will look different.

Vote for the scenarios you want worked on

Frontline experts and community members tell us which legal problems the field should build for first. Pick the ones you most want a working group to take on, and the ones you most want builders to build for. You can pick up to six.

Suggest a scenario we are missing

If the problem you see every day is not in this library, tell us about it. Describe the person and what they are up against, the way the cards here do. We ask for your name and an email so we can write back with questions.
