Reform Resources
Plain-language reform guides
Each guide explains one of Matilda Law’s reform positions and lists its legal sources. Each one names the harm that follows when governments keep a weaker rule, and the state that has already proven a stronger one works. The guides are designed for reading, printing, and sharing. See checked-law library for links to the official text.
