Public-interest standards body
Governance
legalproof.dev is structured as a nonprofit standards organization. We do not own legal reasoning. We define how legal reasoning systems prove themselves.
Mission
To develop open standards, schemas, benchmarks, and certification tests for verifiable legal reasoning systems — in service of courts, regulators, law schools, public-interest legal organizations, vendors, and the public.
