Legal eagles love the idea that standard, boilerplate, tedious terms that make up the lion’s share of commercial legal discourse should be regarded as a common utility; a free public resource, and not some secret sauce that keeps battalions of legal eagles in well-paid but soul-destroying work. Everyone — not just lawyers, come to think of it — likes to believe herself special, privy to something critical; dangerous; delicate — information that, should it fall into the wrong hands, may wreak great ill upon its owner or the poor unsuspecting random.

Kudos, therefore, to the team at the Law Boutique for doing something about it. The JC will put his sclerotic old shoulder to the wheel, for whatever that is worth and commends his friends, relations and readers; especially those who occupy places in the firmament higher than his own — that’s more or less all of you — to do what you can to get your own organisations behind this excellent initiative. Start with the NDA, who knows where it may lead?

Of course, the effluxion of time, the inevitable special pleading, the committee drafting to which we agents of the tragic commons resort by irrepressible force of habit may mean this augers into the ground, but we can but try.
