Abstract: A system and method for drafting documents using an outline table is provided. A database of outlines is maintained. Each outline includes an organizational framework into which document clauses are inserted to form a document. A request for one or more of the outlines is received from a user. The outlines are filtered by removing those outlines that the user is not authorized to access. The outlines are further filtered by removing those outlines that are not preferred by the user. The remaining outlines, not removed, are presented to the user. Input from the user regarding the presented outlines is received. At least one of the presented outlines associated with the user input is selected. The selected outline is populated with predefined values.

Abstract: A system and method for complex document drafting using an authenticated outline table is provided. A collection of outlines, user authorization lists, and preference lists are maintained. Identification information is received from a user. One of the user authorization lists and one of the preference lists are selected based on the identification information received. The outlines are compared to the user authorization list and those outlines for which the user is not authorized are filtered from use. The outlines are compared to the preference list and those outlines not preferred by the user are filtered from use. The non-filtered outlines are displayed to the user and at least one of the non-filtered outlines is selected based on a request from the user. The selected non-filtered outline is provided to the user in a document.

Abstract: A table of clauses is compiled into a shareable database. Each clause relates to parties potentially affected by a use of the clause in a legal document. Each clause also includes authorizations controlling access and preferences specifying provisions and terms for a specific subject matter. A searchable index is formed using a topical ordering based on the specific subject matter included. A clause selection interface is exported and includes document drafting controls. The clauses table index is authenticated against the authorizations for a given user, preferences for the individual parties, and specified monetary amount and is presented following successful authentication. A clause selection is authenticated against the authorizations for a given user and the preferences for the parties. An individual clause from the clauses table is displayed on the user interface upon the selection by the given user following successful authentication.

Abstract: A system and a method for efficiently drafting a legal document using an authenticated clause table are described. A table of clauses is compiled into a shareable database. Each clause relates to one or more individual parties potentially affected by a use of the clause in a legal document. Each clause also includes authorizations controlling access and preferences specifying provisions and terms for a specific subject matter. A searchable index of the clauses table is formed using a topical ordering based on the specific subject matter included in the provisions and terms of each clause. A clause selection interface is exported and includes document drafting controls. The clauses table index is authenticated against the authorizations for a given user and the preferences for the individual parties and specified monetary amount and is presented on the user interface following successful authentication.
