Great to see our work with the District of Columbia. @joshuabrowder writes: "I was pleasantly surprised that D.C. hosts the source of 'truth' for their laws on Github; if a law changes, a piece of code ... immediately notifies me." future.a16z.com/law-as-code/
We developed the Open Law Platform to provide open access to computer-readable official laws. The platform includes notifications, updates in real-time, and track changes. Check it out at github.com/dccouncil/dc-law-…
Our nonprofit partners with governments to help them do exactly this! Sample blackline for humans: sanmateo.ca.us.open.law/_com…; and diff for programmers: git.io/JL62i. If you'd like the same for your community's laws, please reach out!
We are so proud of the work we have done with @CityofSanMateo that this article describes. Seeing how the Open Law Platform has helped the City meet their goals makes this work so rewarding.

I just wrote a lot about running a #legaltech design sprint @JoinPaladin. If you work in law, access to justice, or product design, you might find it interesting.
