RadiumLaw helps find laws, annotate and share knowledge with other lawyers in one place. Rather than using (physical) law books or expensive legacy software, legal knowledge should be free and accessible "a la StackOverFlow".
Hi guys, I worked as a lawyer for a few years and we still use (physical) law books or expensive legacy software during a law reasearch.
State laws are available for free online but navigation is cumbersome at best and a physical copy is still preferred. Lexis Nexis offers "online books" with their license but it's quite expensive, and not the best experience overall.
A fast app to search law, and where annotations are crowdsourced by lawyers (and reviewed by them) "a la StackOverFlow" will be very useful for lawyers, law students, and the public in general.
Here's the V.1 of the product.
- Every Californian state laws are available
- Easy and "snappy" search bar.
- Keyboard shortcuts are built-in for fast navigation.
- Minimal / light-weight interface
- Annotation coming soon.
Your feedback is welcome! Cheers
What area of law are you planning to focus on first for getting annotation/shared notes? I imagine some areas are in higher demand and easy to share notes about -- what is that sweet spot to get started?
@theriodegennaro Before focusing on the annotation part, I intended to build a simple/fast app that lawyers/law students use personally. They would have the option of making their annotation public. "Come for the tool, stay for the network". I might pre-populate with some annotation in civil law, penal law, or family law, but it still unclear at the moment tbh.
