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). Classroom impact and cohort outcomes are documented on the Education Outcomes page. 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.
