ABSTRACT = {We introduce seven foundational principles for creating a culture of<br>constructive criticism in computational legal studies. Beginning by challenging<br>the current perception of papers as the primary scholarly output, we call for a<br>more comprehensive interpretation of publications. We then suggest to make<br>these publications computationally reproducible, releasing all of the data and<br>all of the code all of the time, on time, and in the most functioning form<br>possible. Subsequently, we invite constructive criticism in all phases of the<br>publication life cycle. We posit that our proposals will help form our field,<br>and float the idea of marking this maturity by the creation of a modern<br>flagship publication outlet for computational legal studies.<br>},
