The Democracy Design Workshop is a project of the Institute for Information Law and Policy, New York Law School. Couched as a "do tank" rather than a think tank they are expressly concerned with developing a toolkit of "best practices" for the activities of democracy.

Currently, the Workshop conducts empirical and theoretical research on technologically-enabled democratic processes. But eventually the primary activity of the Workshop will be full-scale design projects. In a given design project, a team of interdisciplinary thinkers from technology to law to business to philosophy, will oversee the development of real tools and the design of related processes that can be made available to government entities at every level, as well as to NGOs, communities and corporations. They will also provide support, listen to and learn from citizens and communities to improve on their work.
