As much as lawyers love legal research online, they have traditionally favored statutes in print. Waldo Jaquith is about to change that. Waldo is the founder of The State Decoded, which is designed to make state codes “for humans.” Waldo has created a beautiful version of the Virginia Code, and the Knight Foundation has awarded him a grant to abstract his code for use in other states, cities, or other countries. If you’d like to see what the future of statutes or other codes might look like, The State Decoded would be a good place to look.
