Hey friend,

Thanks for reading our mission. Our goal is simple: do everything we can to improve access to justice.

The United States of America works best when everyone is equal under the law. Part of that means everyone should have their legal claims heard as quickly as possible. When more people can exercise their legal rights, civic engagement improves, and together we build a more just society for all.

Neon Law Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that builds Neon Law Navigator — an open source legal platform based on these three tenets:

  1. Extract repeatable workflows. Our lawyers review common workflows, then create programmatic variants from their interpretation. For example, we read "How to create a Nevada LLC" and then built a Rust, durable-execution workflow with common Linux Foundation technologies. We build many such workflows — from immigration to restraining orders to fund formation — all to accommodate access to justice.
  2. Write legal documents like code. When legal text is reasoned like code, we can leverage developer tooling like git, code editors, LSPs, CLIs, and MCPs to deliver access to justice.
  3. Share what we learn. None of this matters if we aren't helping lawyers serve more clients. We share workshops, show-and-tells, and presentations that help lawyers adopt the Neon Law Navigator and tailor it to their practice to increase access to justice. Learn more at Neon Law Nebula, our education and events portal. If you're a legal aid organization, we'll provide free training on Neon Law Navigator.

Neon Law is a boutique law firm that dogfoods the Neon Law Navigator. Because lawyers cannot serve adverse parties, the firm alone can't serve access to justice. Nor does the firm fund the mission alone — the Foundation is supported by many, with the firm among them. Our software is published under the Apache-2.0 or MIT license, at your option, and we encourage all lawyers to borrow from our toolsets if they find them useful. Gatekeeping distracts from sharing access to justice.

We invite you to join us to improve access to justice.
