In the Founder's Words
Our mission is to build high quality, high assurance tools for automating legal reasoning. One of the things that I really love about this project is how deeply interdisciplinary it is,” he said. “I had to learn about program verification and symbolic execution, and Ruzica and her team had to learn about legal accountability and the nature of intentions. And in this situation, we went from a very high level, philosophical, jurisprudential idea all the way down to developing a tool. And that’s a very rare thing.” - Scott Shapiro
