Why Code the Law?

Those I've worked with in law and technology know that I love questions, ideas, uncertainty, ambiguity, learning, exploration, experimentation, proof, progress, change and collaboration. That I distrust assumptions, certainty, confidence, expertise and people who refuse to say "I don't know." And that I hate business jargon, superficiality, dishonesty, color-coding and lawyer-ratings sites.

Code the Law is me practicing what I love, scrutinizing what I distrust and criticizing what I hate in the colliding worlds of law and technology. I've long wanted to write more publicly and always found professional or personal excuses not to.

I'm not sure exactly what form this project will take, but what I'm chasing after is a more meaningful understanding of what technology means - both good and bad - for people who work in the legal profession.
