This presentation was prepared for the Jurisprudence of the Future: Law, Justice and Science Fiction theme of the 2022 SLSA Annual Conference in York, organised by Alex Green and Mitch Travis.
In it I explore how design might provide a bridge for sociolegal researchers to access the jurisprudential potential of science fiction; especially those researchers who are wary-yet-curious about futures and other unknowables.
It draws on three projects completed by experts in design-based disciplines: Stuart Candy, Jack Tan and Hands-on Famagusta.
I am grateful for funding from the Leverhulme Trust and the Socio-Legal Studies Association.
