Summary
Document assembly, the computer-assisted generation of texts, is a form of automation with wide applicability in law. Most legal tasks involve document preparation. Drafting effective texts is central to lawyering, judging, legislating, and regulating. The best way to support that work with intelligent tools is an ancient topic in legal informatics circles. This chapter surveys the history and current state of the legal document assembly field and reviews the typical concepts, features, and development processes involved. It describes illustrative applications of document drafting software and the knowledge representations and interfaces they leverage.
