Legal Empowerment
through Information Technology

CodeX is a global epicenter for research and development of computational law. As a multidisciplinary center sitting between Stanford Law School and the Stanford Department of Computer Science, our mission is to advance the frontier of legal technology, driving efficiency, transparency, and access within legal systems.

Our research centers focus on three core initiatives, each aimed to advance foundational academic insights and practical applications.

Computational Law
Through mechanized legal reasoning computational law aims to express legal rules in computational form. This creates new regulatory mechanisms that allow legal requirements to be expressed and implemented more seamlessly and robustly.
Augmented Legal Practice
From access to justice to adjudication to counseling clients, intelligent tools augment all actors in legal systems by empowering practitioners to work more efficiently, develop novel legal strategies, and advocate in powerful new ways.
Legal Analytics
Data science and artificial intelligence help us gain a quantitative and predictive understanding of the law. Our research aims to move beyond traditional empirical analysis to build sophisticated computational models of legal systems.
