# NetPleadings Community Legal Precedents

This repository contains open source legal precedents for lawyers, law firms, and other legal service providers.  It is intended
to be forum for public discussion, version tracking, and dissemination of knowledge.

The files in this repository are used by the [Conductor](https://conductor.law) platform, and conforms
to a technical style that is suitable specifically for that purpose.  There is, nonetheless, adequate
information to repurpose the information for other uses.

# Technical Details

The files in this repository are set out according to jurisdiction, with the top-level directories based
on the [ISO-3166-1 alpha 2](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1) country codes.  Each sub-directory
represents a sub-jurisdiction or legal area of the country.

Sub-jurisdictions may include, for example `ca/on/corp` for Canada, Ontario, Corporate.  Sub-jurisdictions
may also be divided by `.`, so `ca/on.corp` is equivalent to `ca/on/corp`.

Each sub-directory contains a `manifest.yaml` that indicates the files that will be included.

## Products

Every `.yaml` file can specify one or more `models`, which represent end-products of varying types.  The precedents
here generally include model types `PackageView` and `SnippetView` (each of which becomes a `package` or `snippet`) in
Conductor, respectively — being sets of documents and sets of text that are re-used.

## Source

Source files are stored in a [`.YAML`](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YAML) format.
