This document summarizes a presentation about using service design in BC's courts. It discusses how the courts have traditionally focused inward on how the system works for those within it, rather than those using it. It then provides details about the BC Ministry of Justice and annual court filings. It introduces the concept of access to justice and challenges of improving outcomes while reducing costs. The presentation advocates for using service design to address these challenges. It acknowledges barriers like judicial independence but argues for starting change everywhere. It then lists 6 initial service design projects in BC courts around improving electronic filing and accessing court documents and processes. The presentation acknowledges managing multiple projects at once helps build skills and momentum while reducing risks and compounding benefits, but notes it takes time
