V/IP Statutory Rule Tree

Image of the Vaccine Act Rule Tree Logic Diagram

Diagrams of rule trees enable users to visualize the logic of a system of legal rules. The Lab creates software models that both display as rule tree diagrams and provide active templates for modeling the reasoning of individual legal decisions. We use this particular rule tree to model the compensation decisions included in our Vaccine/Injury Project (“V/IP”).
