The sharp decline in levels of state funded legal support have highlighted the importance of publicly available sources of legal information for facilitating access to justice. Mobile apps present an opportunity to provide legal information that can be targeted at particular audiences. University law schools, sometimes in partnership with civil society organisations, are beginning to engage their students in cross disciplinary projects to create mobile apps which can provide free legal information and guidance to the public. The aim of this case study was to evaluate one such project which involved the co-design of a mobile app for the purpose of disseminating information on employment law. Law, education and computing academics worked with undergraduate law students over a period of three months and the prototype app was reviewed by legal advice charities. The findings have implications for how universities can work across disciplines and in partnership with civil society to provide opportunities for their students to use technology to apply their disciplinary knowledge to enhance the public good.

用于公共法律教育的移动应用程序：与学生共同设计的案例研究

国家资助的法律支持水平的急剧下降突显了公开可用的法律信息资源对于促进诉诸司法的重要性。移动应用程序提供了提供可以针对特定受众的法律信息的机会。大学法学院有时会与民间社会组织合作，开始让学生参与跨学科项目，以创建可向公众提供免费法律信息和指导的移动应用程序。本案例研究的目的是评估一个这样的项目，其中涉及一个移动应用程序的共同设计，目的是传播有关就业法的信息。法，教育和计算学者与法学专业的本科生合作了三个月，该原型应用程序已由法律咨询慈善机构​​审查。这些发现对大学如何跨学科工作以及与民间社会合作提供启示，为学生提供机会利用技术应用学科知识来增进公共利益。
