We've welcomed many teams to Boston over the past few years for great discussion and competition. This year, given the COVID-19 pandemic, Suffolk and Liberty Mutual are thrilled to welcome teams of students from around the nation to this virtual event in November 2020.
Submissions
The winning entries, using the tenets of design thinking, put an emphasis on simplicity, usefulness, and the needs of the end user. The teams have only one day to generate their ideas; that time pressure tends to spur creative solutions to legal service delivery challenges.
Students from schools across the country, including Suffolk Law and Suffolk's Sawyer Business School, will participate. The top three teams will take home generous cash prizes.
Thank You to our 2020 Design Challenge Sponsors
