Pacterms is where licensed attorneys release exact legal language for a stated scope, and the register any lawyer, platform or AI tool will be able to check: who released it, for what, and whether it’s still current.
| Version | Scope | Released by | Status | Used in |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TX-PN-RIGHTS · v2 | Texas · privacy notice · consumer rights | Texas-licensed lawyer | Current (replaced v1) | 2 documents |
| CA-POL-SICK · v1 | California · employee policy · paid sick leave | California-licensed lawyer | Current | 1 document |
| NY-DISC-RENEW · v1 | New York · consumer disclosure · automatic renewal | n/a | In review, not released | n/a |
Anyone can generate a clause in seconds. Almost nobody can show that a licensed lawyer released that exact wording, for that situation, and that it was still current when used.
Re-reviewing the same language for every use is slow and expensive, so most text ships unreviewed. The missing piece isn’t drafting. It’s release, and proof that lasts.
AI researches statutes and official sources, using more than one model family, and records where every source came from.
Every candidate is checked for wrong citations and outdated law before an attorney sees it; a second check by a different model family is not yet running. Anything uncertain goes to a person, never auto-corrected.
A licensed attorney reviews the exact version for its scope and releases it with verified login and a one-time code. By design, nothing else can release.
Lawyers and systems will pull the released version into documents. Every use will be recorded.
When the law changes, the version will be paused for new use and the attorney releases a successor. Everyone using the old version will be told. Past documents keep the version they used.
Use attorney-released language in your own documents, and see which client documents carry which version when the law changes.
Check a version’s status, pull released text, and (planned) get notified when a successor is released, inside your own product.
Releasing their own text under their own release authority.
Reviewing attorneys and customer lawyers are kept separate. An attorney who releases a clause does not also buy it.
Apply for early accessEvery AI drafting tool produces text. None can prove a licensed lawyer released it. Pacterms is designed to be the record they can check.
The API is in progress, and the public verifier is designed.
Build on the register →Source monitoring is designed to watch the law behind every version. When something changes, new use will pause and the releasing attorney decides: keep, withdraw or release a successor. Everyone using the old version will be notified, and every past document keeps exactly what it used.
Any legal text a business reuses: contract clauses, forms, notices, policies and platform terms. Any US state, once counsel admitted there have released for it.
A released version is never edited; a change creates a new version.
Names, dates and amounts come from your document; the released wording doesn’t change.
Releases start in Texas, where our first reviewing lawyers are licensed.
The register is designed so that every released version is a row: exact text, stated scope, the licensed counsel who released it, when — timestamped by an independent authority (RFC 3161) — and its fingerprint. Every use of it is a bind: a recorded use on that row. When counsel release a successor, the old row is marked succeeded and the uses recorded under it are preserved, unchanged.
Governing version: v1
A jurisdiction opens only when counsel admitted there have released for it. Each new state will add attorneys, versions released and maintenance that compound across every customer.
TodayTexas: attorneys in credential verification; catalog researched, unreleased.
First production release is pending completion of credentialing, independent-reviewer engagements and related risk-management arrangements.
Pacterms assembles and records. It is software, not a law firm, and it does not give legal advice.
AI does the research: it finds sources and raises flags for a person. Every candidate is then checked before an attorney sees it; a second check by a different model family, which attacks every candidate, is not yet running. Today no model writes a clause body or releases a version. Only a credentialed attorney can release, and the software is designed so nothing else can.
Reviewing attorneys are independent licensed counsel. Each is engaged for one defined scope on a flat or cost-plus fee per review batch, never a share of revenue or outcomes, and can require revisions, reject, withdraw, or release a successor. The first, Texas-licensed, are in credential verification.
Pacterms is designed to watch for new opinions citing the authority behind a version. It does not classify how they treated it — no software here decides that a case was overruled or questioned. A reviewing attorney makes that call, and the version is designed to freeze until they do.
Events are append-only. A correction is a new event, and a successor is a new version. Past uses keep the version they were made under.
Attorneys are independent reviewers engaged by Pacterms under contract — not employees, a panel or a law-firm team. Through Pacterms they never give individual advice to users, negotiate users’ transactions, or act as Pacterms’ law firm.
Credential verification is not engagement, and engagement is not release. Each step is recorded.
I’m building Pacterms because of what lawyers told me. They wouldn’t re-review a full document for every customer, and nothing recorded which version they had stood behind. What they would do is release one exact version for a defined scope. So I built the system around that release: AI does the research, software checks it, a licensed attorney releases, and the register keeps the proof. It started with my family, who do trade work and kept losing arguments because the record was a text thread nobody could find.
