FAIRNESS BY DESIGN

Administrative Law & Governance · ANU Juris Doctor (2026–2028)

Jay Spudvilas

I build tools that make administrative decision-making visible — mapping how discretion operates, where delay clusters, and how process design shapes fairness. The transparency work lives at GlassCase.org.

Twelve years in public education governance shaped this focus: implementing statutory frameworks, building audit-ready systems, navigating compliance. I'm formalising it through the ANU Juris Doctor (2026–2028). Legal education tools are released through Law & Learning.

Current tools: Consideration Matrix (mandatory/discretionary considerations), Redaction Taxonomy (FOI decision quality), Institutional Stress Mapper (composite indicator for institutional health). Senate submission on FOI reform (2025). All work is open, DOI-linked, and audit-ready.
