Computational contracts introduce software functionalities to operationalize, rather than merely record, acts of commercial coordination. In doing so, they bring together software and law in interesting and unchartered ways to create dynamic documents that present unique opportunities and challenges. Distributed ledger technologies have propelled ‘smart contracts’ into mainstream application over the last decade. The introduction of software into contractual relationships, however, may be implemented in a number of ways, of which such ‘smart contracts’ are only one. Broadly, it is possible both to express legal promises in code and to incorporate code-based elements within conventional (‘paper’) contracts. This volume examines the observed approaches and reflects critically on their relationship and the common issues raised. The organizing principle behind the volume is that emerging design patterns and considerations are beginning to form around the instantiation of code in contractual agreements—the ‘smart legal contract’. With incisive analyses from legal scholars, computer scientists, judges, and legal practitioners across common law jurisdictions, this volume addresses many of the foundational questions raised by smart contracts in legal theory and practice and provides a critical point of orientation in an emerging but still disparate literature. 000048016 588__ $$aOnline resource 000048016 650_4 $$aContracts$$xData processing 000048016 650_4 $$aSmart contracts 000048016 7001_ $$aAllen, Jason,$$eeditor. 000048016 7001_ $$aHunn, Peter,$$eeditor. 000048016 85641 $$uhttps://doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780192858467.001.0001$$yView eBook 000048016 903__ $$aOxford Academic 000048016 904__ $$aJournal article 000048016 980__ $$aOS
