She has done so for both her peers and faculty at Pritzker and her students. For Carrel, it is not the human-centered design, in and of itself, that she is proudest of. Rather, it is the role that she has played in sharing the approach with her peers and the impact that their initiatives have had. Indeed, Carrel's role as a champion for the notion and a willingness to spend time with peers and students exposing them to the concept and teaching them how to do it at scale is what is most unique about her journey. For example, as Carrel worked to expose colleagues to the human-centered design process, she offered to conduct mini-design sprints in law school classes and hosted an interdisciplinary design sprint with law students, design engineering students, and high school students to explore issues related to the dissemination of immigration information to youth. These efforts resulted in two major initiatives: one was a new human- centered design and restorative justice course taught and the second was a partnership with the ABA Center for Innovation. This multi-year partnership allowed the law school's Children & Family Justice Center to hire Sarah Silins, an ABA Center for Innovation NextGen Fellow, and launch a state-wide program that reimagines the juvenile justice system without youth prisons by scaling human- centered design events with youth within the juvenile system, their families, and the guards at these facilities. Shellie Reid, a law student at Michigan State University, worked in public safety for almost a decade before going to law school. As a 50-something student, she describes herself as a life-long learner. She has always been curious about problem-solving whether the issues were hers to solve or not. As a military spouse, she lived in ten different states and three cities in Japan. She knows through an abundance of experience how to adapt to new environments and used that skill many times during her stint in public safety. Reid is passionate about technolo and gives her dad the credit for his early adoption of home computers and encouraging her to take basic coding classes. Reid earns her "maverick" status by leaving her government job and entering law school later in life and jumping head first into innovation and access to justice. She credits the Access to Justice Tech Fellows program and the Center for Law, Technolo & Innovation for giving her tools and confidence to take an alternative path. On campus, Reid encourages other students to take their own alternative career paths. One of the ways she walks her talk is through a group called Legal Launch Pad. The group hosts events that expose students to the legal tech arena and explore alternative career paths in the industry. In addition, the group has created an online book club hosted on Slack to allow students to engage with legal professionals. Katrina Lee started her career as a corporate litigator in San Francisco, California and earned a promotion to equity partner in her sixth year of law practice. She joined The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law teaching legal writing in 2011 and then later legal negotiations and the business of law.
