Bringing GitHub to the legal eagles. Credit to Graeme Johnston of https://www.juralio.com for the nub of this idea. See: ClauseHub: theory

So the idea is very very formative, but in a nutshell it is like an open-source GitHub, only for legal code — that is, legal text. Words. The challenge is to keep the simplicity but not throw away the opportunities provided by the network and the digital.

  • STP, authentication, workflow
  • Validation/authentication of text (i.e. if text is downloaded can it be corrupted??) — the code is law

For example: publish the components of a basic confidentiality agreement.

Phase (a): publish

  • Establish platform
  • Publish in downloadable templates in word or PDF format and say to everyone "have at it. help yourself." Sponsor then as XYZ content, open source. Standard agreements — NDAs etc.
  • Grant pre-approved users (with low threshold) ability to do likewise
  • Develop navigation methodology - metadata tags, Boolean search etc.
  • Reputation management for templates

Phase (b): modularise

  • Strip back and break out all the boilerplate - governing law, reps and warranties etc.

basically make an online, simple, doc assembly tool - free for anyone to use and play around with as they wish.

Phased approach with a series of successive goals, which depend on the last one being achieved.
