Version control for law drafting and other dev-like tools is something that http://www.openlawlib.org is working on. I think there is a strong push for standard provisions, definitions, etc. The problem is that while every relat

How prevalent is the use of non-Word tools in drafting legislation? At Open Law Library[1], we're building a linter for legislation drafting as a Word plugin under the assumption that most drafting is done in Word. Would love to learn

I'm not familiar at all with Canadian law. Does canlii.org provide statutes, regs, case law from every jurisdiction from the local level (cities/towns) up through the federal level? Is this a distinction that matters?

#2 is a really big barrier to innovation in this space. Another issue is that the economics of codification and publishing disincentives existing publishers from releasing laws and codes in open and accessible formats. And without open and
