README.md

This repo is developed for an online course of mixed computer science and law students. It takes Non-Disclosure Agreements as a use-case for contracting. It tests a number of theses:

1. Can we organize a law/CS course via git?

2. Is git (and GitHub) as good a platform for legal collaboration as it is for code collaboration?

3. Is VS Code a ready-made interface for legal work?

4. Are "Prose Objects" an ideal form of legal "source" ?

5. What are the barriers to easier, better use of "Prose Objects"? How do they fit into an ecosystem of contracting, governance, Smart Contracts, AI/ML/NLP processing?

6. Can NDAs be "codified" globally?

7. Will front-line users of NDAs - corporate counsel, businesses and others - appreciate and adopt codification.

8. Will we ever run out of questions?

The repo is at https://github.com/CommonAccord/NW-NDA

It is presented at http://www.commonaccord.org/index.php?action=list&file=G/NW-NDA/

Materials about the process and the course are at /99/.

To get up to speed, it is highly recommended to get the application Visual Studio Code (VS Code) and clone a copy of this NW-NDA repo into VS Code. VS Code greatly eases reading and navigation, as well as providing a way to edit and contribute. Think of it as a browser.

We will link to some featured work here.

A place to start is the current set of demos: http://www.commonaccord.org/index.php?action=list&file=G/NW-NDA/99/Demo/
