Legal XML is a non-profit organization developing open standards for legal documents and related applications. The building block for Legal XML standards is eXtensible Markup Language ("XML").
LegalXML is a member section within OASIS, the not-for-profit, global consortium that drives the development, convergence and adoption of e-business standards. Members themselves set the LegalXML agenda, using the open OASIS technical process expressly designed to promote industry consensus and unite disparate efforts. LegalXML produces standards for electronic court filing, court documents, legal citations, transcripts, criminal justice intelligence systems, and others.
OASIS members participating in LegalXML include lawyers, developers, application vendors, government agencies and members of academia.
LegalDocML and LegalRuleML are affiliated committees and proposals of the LegalXML committee.
