Contracts. A mind-numbing headache for every 1L, and a legal writing task that has survived essentially unchanged since Hammurabi's Code.
Harm Bavinck wants an update. A fellow at Stanford Law School's CodeX, the legal tech entrepreneur is building technology that he hopes will replace natural-language contracts forever.
In the future, many contracts will be written in code that automates as much of the contract's execution as possible, Bavinck predicts. But no fear, English majors: Bavinck wants to make it easy for you too.
