Why legal is an OS concern
Legal steps are often a hard break in recovery workflows: different systems, different documents, different owners. That is why the legal step must exist as a workflow, not as a manual exception.
What a “digital legal layer” means
- Data reuse from the case model (no duplicate entry)
- Validations before filing (completeness, formal checks)
- Approvals for gated steps
- Audit trail across documents, timestamps, and decisions
Why this matters
An OS only becomes infrastructure when it covers the full lifecycle, including legal. eSchKG is a first step toward treating legal as an integrated layer.
