Jason Morris is a Canadian lawyer pioneering research in “Rules as Code,” a new field seeking to create machine-understandable rules and law. Lawyers don’t scale well, so Jason and others in the field are seeking to make justice more easily distributed by making it easier for computers to process. This should in turn allow more people to build justice applications on the foundation of computable law. Jason is also the developer of Blawx, the 2020 runner-up in the American Legal Technology Awards Startup category. Blawx turns Jason’s Rules as Code expertise into an easy-to-use, drag-and-drop app that empowers those without a programming background to perform deductive legal reasoning tasks. He currently serves as CEO of LEXpedite, a company that further promotes Rules as Code through training, facilitation, and engineering.
