Graeme Johnston / August 2022 I’ve recently been sharing some short videos on LinkedIn. Here’s a list for finding it easily. I’ll update this as I add more.

Project management and more. Simple and pleasant to use, and scales to complex stuff while still […]
noslegal – open source legal taxonomy
Graeme Johnston / April 2022 Over the last few weeks, a lot of my spare time has been dedicated to the noslegal open source taxonomy project. I’ve done various LinkedIn posts recently about it, which I thought would be useful to collate here – 28 March: announcing the upcoming release and linking to a 1 […]
Machines for complicating legal work

I’m reproducing it here as I think it fits well with the key Juralio theme of helping people manage complexity. Introduction Better roads sometimes […]
A simple, respectful privacy notice
Graeme Johnston / 6 March 2022 A personal obsession over recent years has been to understand more about what Shosana Zuboff aptly calls “surveillance capitalism” and to avoid contributing to the problematic aspects of this while still running a modern technology business.

Graeme Johnston / 10 February 2022 I’m intrigued by this week’s announcement by the largest English regulator of lawyers (the SRA) that, while it recognises that legal work can involve long hours and heavy workloads, it will now consider taking enforcement action against law firms in serious or persistent cases of ‘imposition of wholly unreasonable […]
Organising contracting in a moderately sized business
Graeme Johnston / 2 February 2022 Something that’s crept up on me over the years is my frustration with the typical format of contracts, the process for dealing with them and the difficulty of doing much about it in a practical way. Contracts have never been my core business, but I’ve drafted them, negotiated them, […]

Less is more in project management: 1869 edition
Graeme Johnston / 18 January 2022 Let’s assume that you’re working on a project with many other people.

Two of the big challenges are […]
