This commentary reads the three chapters in the section through Catherine Malabou’s discussion of the politics of anarchism. It argues that the each contribution describes a specific form of anarchic normativity, a related vision of the hierarchical, implications of these specific and specifically anarchic forms, and that each remains relatively fuzzy about the possible forms of regulatory agency. The conclusion focuses on the complicit engagements of scholars with anarchic normativities, their implications and the regulatory forms associated with them.

Document automation technology converts static court forms into dynamic, guided interviews. This chapter examines how automated systems address barriers to justice, including legal complexity, identifying the correct form for a legal issue, and procedural errors that prevent individuals from effectively asserting their rights.

Document automation is both a practical tool for expanding access to justice and a foundation for more sophisticated AI-enhanced legal assistance tools. The technology operates through template-based platforms that break down intimidating legal documents into plain-language questions, automatically populate multiple related forms from single data entries, and validate information in real time to prevent filing errors. Document automation platforms, built using Docassemble, A2J Author, HotDocs, and related tools, have enabled users worldwide to complete legal forms with greater accuracy than traditional manual methods typically allow.

While current systems excel at structural automation and form completion, limitations remain in handling complex narrative drafting and substantive legal reasoning. The chapter examines the emerging applications of artificial intelligence and large language models in enhancing template creation, automating data extraction, and improving narrative generation.

This chapter identifies the “building blocks” of organizational architecture. A group structure is composed of two or more legal entities. This chapter discusses the significance of the selection of legal entities and is divided into selections on legal form, corporate purpose, and corporate function in a group structure. The chapter contributes to the literature by distinguishing the roles of operative, service, holding, and dormant companies in groups and the implications of these upon the selection of affiliation linkages (Chapter 5) and internal governance mechanisms (Chapter 6).
