> I was just thinking today about an idea to introduce some programming constructs to legal documents like contracts and organization policies/procedures. In my late teens I saw a contract my dad had brought home, and that one at least already had some basic constructs - I saw analogues to variables, logic/conditionals (as used in a programming language rather than natural language), and possibly even subroutines. And that's just what I remember, it wouldn't surprise me if there were already more such commonalities. It would certainly explain why legal documents are so difficult for the layperson.
