Abstract (in about 300 words)

Wikipedia has championed the model of collaborative editing and knowledge content building by leveraging the use of Wiki's. The same model and know-how has immense abeyance to be used to collaboratively build a repository of legal documents, edited, and refreshed in real time, that can be used by any person, without paying and hence legally bypassing the otherwise cumbersome network of lawyers, legal experts and professionals. This submission would focus on how Wiki's can be leveraged in the right way to build a database of such documents, how factual accuracy can be maintained, and how the database and its constituents can draw on the flexibility of Wiki's to account for the dynamic nature of law.
