The Document Assembly Line Architecture
This page provides a bird's-eye view of how various repositories of the Document AssemblyLine Project work together. This information is intended for those who want to take full advantage of the Project for their interviews, and for those who potentially want to adopt our Project for their own state or country.
Below is a snapshot of the Project's overall architecture as of June 2022. We will periodically update this page, as the Project is still under active development to add new functionality and enhance the performance.

GitHub Repositories for Projects​
Massachusetts​
Due to the LIT Lab's extensive work with the Massachusetts Appeals Court, these repositories help model court, venue, and jurisdiction information in Docassemble for Massachusetts and as a possible starting point in other jurisdictions.
