Juna Legal

All actions in the system can be actions in the real world, and vice versa. Attorney, escrow, notary, advocate, lawyer - these are the roles performed by a legal gateway. Participants can delegate to the legal gateway the functions of communicating with governments, government agencies, courts, and other real-world actors.

From the point of view of the system, the legal gateway plays the role of an oracle - it is endowed with the trust of the participants who chose it, and informs the system about events in the real world - whether a payment has occurred, whether the goods have arrived, whether a document has arrived, whether the transaction has been approved by the state.

The founders assume that legal gateways, for a fee, will take on all the complexities of professional interaction with the jurisdictions in which transactions are concluded between participants in the system. This will allow you to focus on the main thing - creating added value, selling your labor and knowledge, and will be an important difference from the real world, where it is very difficult for people to overcome the barriers and confusion of the official aspect of doing business.

When concluding a contract, participants can invite one or more legal gateways (LegalGate), whose tasks include independent arbitration of the relationships between the participants, as well as interaction with real-world events. For example, a customer and a supplier of goods who are unsure of each other can delegate to an independent party, whom they both trust, to register the fact of delivery in order to avoid fraud. The platform in this case will consider the contract executed and will execute the payment only when the legal gateway confirms the transaction. Thus, the legal gateway eliminates the well-known problem of mistrust and lack of connection between the digital world and the real one.

A legal gateway can be a law firm and/or a qualified participant in the system, which ensures the legality and recording of legally and economically significant events during the execution of a transaction in the jurisdictions where it takes place. Connecting a company/lawyer can be done either programmatically, if the law firm has the necessary smart contract, or “Ricardian”, when the agreement is indicated only within the text description in the smart contract. The lawyer and the user can also have their own smart contract that executes their agreement among themselves. Connection to the contract can be done either directly from the lawyer’s wallet or through the mentioned smart contract for legal services.

The legal gateway in many cases will be an escrow company, which will have to enforce the terms of the contract in a given jurisdiction.

Essentially, the role of a legal gateway is an interface between the digital world of a global blockchain jurisdiction and the real physical world in which legally significant events occur. Parties can create, accept and use smart contracts with any business process, including the participation of a USH for each party, or several USHs acting in relation to the smart contract and blockchain as Oracles (sources of information from the outside world with a high level of trust, see below). This mechanics makes it possible to establish a high level of trust between participants at the level of system ideology.

Typical legal gateway operations:

• KYC verification;

• Verification of the fulfillment of obligations;

• Submitting and obtaining the necessary forms from government authorities, if they are needed to complete transactions between participants;

• Checking the availability of rights of disposal, possession, use, checking encumbrances and restrictions;

• Transaction management, decision to enter or not to enter into a transaction, interaction interface for making decisions in other smart contracts;

• Resolution of disputes between participants who have chosen a certain YUS in the form of an arbitrator;

• Representation of interests in judicial and government bodies of various jurisdictions.

To communicate between users and legal gateways, the Juna Legal service has been created with two types of users:

• From the side of the legal gateway participant (hereinafter referred to as “lawyer”, not meaning the actual qualifications of the participant), this is a dashboard of all transactions in which he participates, their stage, transaction amounts and lawyer’s commission. A separate interface is adding a lawyer to the system. After the lawyer fills out the application, the application goes for pre-moderation, after which the profile is published on the Juna Legal website. An active profile accumulates social rating.

• From the user/business participant side, this is a rating table with filters where you can select a suitable lawyer by:

• • jurisdictions

  • transaction types,

  • social capital,

  • lawyer costs,

  • lawyer's workload.

An important condition for the operation of Juna Legal is integration into other interfaces of the ecosystem, so that interaction with legal gateways is harmonious.
