Smart Legal Contracts: Computable Law in Theory and Practice is a groundbreaking exploration into one of the most significant developments at the intersection of law and technology: the endeavor to leverage emerging digital technologies to revolutionize the formation and execution of contracts. While advancements in distributed ledger technology have brought the concept of "smart contracts" to the forefront of legal discourse, this volume takes a broader perspective to examine how computers can be utilized throughout the contracting process. This book assesses how contractual promises are expressed in software and how code-based artifacts can be integrated into more traditional legal frameworks. Through insightful contributions from members of the judiciary, legal scholars, practitioners, and computer scientists, this book aims to establish the boundaries of an emerging field of law and foster a more fruitful dialogue among the various disciplines involved in the evolution of contracts as software. It serves as the first step toward a more rigorous approach to computational contracts that avoids the techno-legal complexities of "smart contracts" and unveils an emerging taxonomy of approaches to encoding contracts in entirety or in part. Conceived and written during a period when major legal systems began to engage with the emergence of contracts in computable form, this collection offers invaluable insights into future trends and serves as a guiding compass for future scholarship and innovation.
