This article shares observations made during an experimental community-led design project undertaken to identify promising new solutions for civil justice services which low-income Escambia County residents could easily use. The Florida Bar Foundation-funded project generated three new initiatives that were prototyped, filed tested, and prepared for continuation. The Escambia Project ultimately engaged more than 100 community members and relied on the support of dozens of local volunteers and organizations. All three initiatives have been adopted by the local legal aid program partner or the community and continue in some form. The article also contains lessons learned and recommendations for how community-led participatory design could help transform the justice system.

Escambia 项目：社区主导的法律设计实验

本文分享了在社区主导的实验性设计项目中所做的观察，该项目旨在确定低收入埃斯坎比亚县居民可以轻松使用的有前途的民事司法服务新解决方案。佛罗里达州律师基金会资助的项目产生了三个新举措，这些举措已经过原型设计、归档测试并准备继续。Escambia 项目最终吸引了 100 多名社区成员，并依赖于数十个当地志愿者和组织的支持。所有这三项举措都已被当地法律援助计划合作伙伴或社区采纳，并以某种形式继续下去。该文章还包含关于社区主导的参与式设计如何帮助改变司法系统的经验教训和建议。
