Abstract:
We introduce seven foundational principles for creating a culture of constructive criticism in computational
legal studies. Beginning by challenging the current perception of papers as the primary scholarly output, we
call for a more comprehensive interpretation of publications. We then suggest to make these publications
computationally reproducible, releasing all of the data and all of the code all of the time, on time, and in the
most functioning form feasible. Once all materials are made available by default, we invite constructive
criticism in all phases of the publication life cycle. We posit that our proposals will help form our field, and
float the idea of marking this maturity by the creation of a modern flagship publication outlet for
computational legal studies.
