Eviction Innovation
When a person is sued for eviction, how are they notified? A court summons is a crucial document to let them know about the lawsuit, help them connect with services, and get them prepared for important hearings and deadlines. This court summons was designed to be more user-friendly & accessible.
The Stanford Legal Design Lab has been working with more courts to improve the usability of their court summons.
This summons designed followed the same principles as our work with Hamilton County, Ohio — but adjusted to the local requirements in Montana.
We have also made this as a Canva template, so that others can take this template and customize it for their own local jurisdiction.
Come here to Canva to borrow this template, and make it work for your local court.
