Legal documentation in mobile environments

Abstract

The world of mobility is currently one of the most attractive environments for the evolution of information technology. The success of this ecosystem is based on analyzing the most common activities that users perform in their daily work and adapt them to the mobile environment. The features are simplified, in exchange for access to information anywhere, and a special effort is made to achieve good usability of applications. Although these technologies do not replace traditional environments, they are a nice complement to both professionals and non professionals. This article introduces how to use this new paradigm to include legal information in these environments, through the explanation of a Lex Nova project that has been developed to provide content and services to legal professionals. The motivations that have led to the project, the different existing approaches and the choices and features of the products obtained are commented. Finally, the results achieved so far are summarised.
