The purpose of the LawPatch dictionary is to help people understand legal concepts so that they can use the law as a tool.
It's not useful yet - we're still thinking through the structure. The only entry so far is "third party".
Design principles (so far):
- Understanding is the top priority: if a person with a reading age of thirteen cannot understand, the entry has not done its job well enough.
- Each entry should have at least two examples of the concept applied to real examples.
- The explanations should be as cross-jurisdictional as possible.
Entries in the dictionary so far:
- indemnity (incomplete);
- intellectual property (incomplete);
- liability (incomplete); and
- third party (COMPLETE EXAMPLE).
