About

Colette R. Brunschwig is a pioneering scholar at the intersection of law, technology, and human perception. Her research focuses on **Visual Law** and **Legal Design**, exploring how digitalization is transforming legal communication through visualization, audiovisualization, and multisensorization. In her most cited work (2021, 35 citations), she examines how emerging technologies—from still images and videos to humanoid robots and virtual realities—are reshaping the very fabric of legal practice and understanding. Brunschwig’s major contribution lies in systematically questioning how these sensory expansions can make law more accessible, intuitive, and effective. By framing legal information not just as text but as multisensory experience, she challenges traditional legal pedagogy and practice. Her work has garnered attention from legal scholars, designers, and technologists alike, positioning her as a key voice in the growing field of legal design. Brunschwig’s research invites us to reimagine law as a dynamic, visual, and sensory discipline—one that evolves with the digital age to better serve both practitioners and the public.
