What is the Screens Community?
The Screens.ai Community is an ecosystem of legal experts who create and share their contract playbooks through the Screens platform. These playbooks are essentially AI-powered guides that streamline the contract review process, allowing lawyers, law firms, and in-house legal teams to analyze and redline documents up to ten times faster than traditional methods.
Let’s back up for a minute. What is a contract playbook and why is it so important? A contract playbook is a comprehensive guide that distills hard-earned knowledge and best practices into a structured, easily reference-able format. It's not just a collection of clauses; it's a strategic tool that encapsulates preferred positions, negotiation strategies, and risk assessments for various contract types. Think of it as creating a digital version of a legal mind – one that can be shared, updated, and leveraged across your entire team or organization. A well-crafted playbook typically includes:
- Guidance on when to use any number of pre-approved contract templates
- Standard preferred clauses and fallback positions
- Negotiation guidelines and strategies
- Risk assessment criteria
- Approval workflows
- Best practices for drafting and review
While some legal professionals like to create their own playbooks (which you can easily do with our new Playbook Generator), you can also use one already created by a legal expert in the Screens Community. The Screens Community serves as a valuable resource for legal professionals seeking to enhance their efficiency and expertise in contract review on topics they might not work with every day.
