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. A clause selection is authenticated against the authorizations for a given user and the preferences for the individual parties. An individual clause from the clauses table is displayed on the user interface upon the selection by the given user following successful authentication.
