I am working on something like this--a "simple code deference agreement." It's very much 'alpha release'/ 'not quite there yet' but shares the idea of simplicity.https://github.com/lex-node/SCoDA-Simple-Code-Deference-Agreement-/blob/master/SCoDA%20v.3.md …
When looking for legal role models for smart contracts, for example, I strongly recommend reading older contracts, even contracts from from the early European written contract tradition (late medieval), since they are much simpler & much more self-sufficient wrt background law.https://twitter.com/NickSzabo4/status/1099793354777214976 …

Sounds interesting, but probably different from what I'm talking about.

Do you have any links to examples of the kind of thing you're talking about?

Following the same intuition, we started looking into mutual and guilds
How far back did you manage to go? -
Guilds had their own jurisdictions, held in the form of property, a topic I wrote about (albeit focusing on other kinds of jurisdictions as property, but the general legal patterns would have been the same at least in England): https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=936314 …

Actually I agree. And a future trend will be to have “lex mercatoria” on the blockchain, which means simplified set of rules for specific topic (in the spectrum of contractual relationships). We are doing that, in a legally compliant way, according the current legal frameworks.

Will have to dig some up - can't say I have ever seen a medieval k. But I have seen some from early 1900s contracts unfortunately and they are outrageously verbose, arcane and unnecessarily complex. Almost like they were drafted in a way to be undecipherable by layman.

thanks! will check it out. = )

Old laws and contracts are great. Lots less rent seeking, needless complexity and fluff, more plain language focused on the root important issues. I like the old securities laws and legal decisions as well, lots of focus on private property rights.

The Magna Carta of 1215 is the prime example of written law.

The simplicity of Babylonian and other ancient codes?

Yes, that's another good example, although culturally farther removed.

I prefer pirate law
