The Art of Law

What does law look like? It depends.
Standard chart types are insufficient for conveying the intuition(s) behind the perspective of law as a complex system that underlies much of our work.
Hence, we continuously explore the design space of alternative visualizations, borrowing our nomenclature from nature to emphasize the view of law as a dynamic, evolving ecosystem.
Below are some visualization types that we are currently working with (and constantly refining).

Fibers
