Website and case system for the Labour Court

Website and case system for the Labour Court

The Labour Court needed a new website with universal design, clear use, and reliable publishing of cases and decisions. It had to be formal, neutral and easy to use for lawyers, case officers and the public. The case system had to sit inside the site, so publishing and maintenance would be dependable.

Client: The Labour Court
Workplace: Dunderverk AS
Year: 2016-2019

My role

I led the design and the user experience, and worked closely with the developer, case officers and lawyers.

The work included:

  • UX and UI design

  • Design and structure of the digital case system

  • Universal design and information architecture

  • Advice, and a check on the whole solution

Approach

We started with research and conversation with the client, to map the current problems, the goals and how people used the old system.

We looked at how cases and decisions were handled, and designed a new information structure for simpler navigation and faster access.

Wireframes and prototypes were made and tested in Figma, and we worked closely with the developer so the functions and the build would hold.

The solution

We delivered a usable, responsive site that combines:

  • Publishing and maintenance of judgments and cases in a simpler case system.

  • Simpler navigation and a clear structure for decisions and ongoing cases.

  • Clear navigation and a structure people can search.

  • A publishing tool staff can edit without friction.

  • A design that feels steady and credible, without extra decoration.

  • A visual expression in line with public guidelines and universal design.

  • Room to manage the content, and to grow later.

Result

Professionals and the public can find current cases and court decisions more easily.

The case system is better integrated, more stable, and easier to run internally.

I am glad to have made something that is strict in function, accessible, and trustworthy, in line with the role the Labour Court has.
