Transcript of #Hackingthe Law #ODIFridays 20 March 2015
Openlaws.eu DG Just project
UK, Netherlands and Austria
top 3 EU: OKFN legislation rankings
open access to law in Europe
legislation, case law and commentary
Not just legislation.gov.uk
social network for lawyers, students and
interested citizens.
What can opening access to
law achieve?
better and wider legal knowledge,
which means a “better informed citizenry”
1. on the legal community,
2. in combination with open data
entrepreneurs.
1. Citizens understand their rights
How to secure those rights, and costs of access to justice.
Helps identify better the manner in which the law is applied in courts,
feedback loop can help us understand how to draft and enforce laws more effectively better litigation,
more mediation,
better consumer contracts,
lower contract costs,
better spread of liabilities, better protection for those whose rights are
abused.
2. Open access to law alongside
other open databases.
If we find out that
people are not using the law effectively
to enforce their rights and seek justice,
that can help us identify parts of our social
and economic environment
where we might have put rights and
responsibilities in the wrong place.
Example: if no-one is found effectively
liable for computer security breaches
due to defective products we might explore the insurance and criminal
law implications for cybercrime
also computers owners & software authors
Designing new protocols, practices, laws?
Might result in more trusted online environment
That’s one small example.
Openlaws release our first
code today: March 20 at a
hackathon in Salzburg
We have completed our
UK, EU and Netherlands
case studies
Expanding open innovation to law
Introducing mass-customization to law
Proposing a comprehensive European
“Big Open Legal Data” (BOLD) Vision 2020 for incremental implementation,
built on top of existing EU and national systems and content
(e.g. EUR-Lex, e-Justice System, e-Codex).

Developing big online legal data
Free Access to Law movement (FALM) online case law via BAILII in the UK
Legal Information Institutes (AustLII, Cornell etc.)
#GoodLaw online statutes expanded rapidly, crowdsourcing ideas for #goodlaw
Online legal education and research BILETA since 1985
Electronic Law Journals project at Warwick
EJLT – now Script-ed + IJoC at USC many US law journals
Journal of Open Access to Law (JOAL) est. 2014!
publishing books via Creative Commons: Marsden 2010Chris Marsden (Sussex)

Ministry of Justice ready for
(r)evolution?
#Goodlaw
radical crowd-sourced legislative approach
Open Data
Very fashionable amongst G7 countries etc.
Implementation more patchy than general
UK: BAILII, ICLR, Supreme Court reforms;
But we really need a pan-European
approach

Why not build a
smartphone app for lawyers? Already done using
open case law, statute,
articles
Where? Austria RIS:App
Why not here? Why not
everywhere?
