Our work is split into 4 main streams and one catch-all (click a title for more information) -
1. Artificial Intelligence and legislation
Using AI (LLMs & machine learning) to help drafters identify logical structures & key elements within legislation.
2. Non-technical guidance & training for drafters
Helping to improve the logical rigour of drafting by taking insights from modern logic and computing, but without using any tech.
3. Parsing exercises & logic
Producing imaginary & real examples of provisions whose logical structures we formalise with different forms of mark-up, as well as in Mermaid, QnA & Excel, and possibly in DataLex, L4 and Blawx.
4. Mock-up of a drafting tool
Producing illustrative mock-ups, with a basic specification, for a potential tool to help legislative drafters create, check and mark up their logical structures, adapting the “Integratred Development Environments” that help programmers to code.
5. Other - “Common Legislative Solutions”, Interpretation Law modernisation
- Common Legislative Solutions - parsing & digitising model provisions in a Jersey-adapted version of CLS.
- Interpretation Law for the digital age - seeing if there is scope for updating the Interpretation Law (and Interpretation Acts in other countries) to work better for humans and computers.
