L4 Learning Guide

for the aspiring and actual legal professional

L4 is a programming language designed specifically for translating legal documents into precise, executable code. This guide will take you step-by-step from writing your first legal rule to modeling complete regulatory schemes like the Jersey Charities Law.

What You'll Learn:

• How to write legal rules that a computer can understand and execute

• How to model complex legal relationships and processes

• How to test and simulate legal scenarios

• How to organize and maintain large bodies of legislation

Prerequisites:

• Basic familiarity with legal concepts

• Little to no programming experience required (we'll teach you what you need)

• Open our online editor in a separate tab or window. You can copy L4 code examples from this guide in there. It'll give you as-you-type error checking and the ability to run evaluations of your rules.
