...is scheduled as the guest speaker for the 234th meeting of the Karl Hess Club, to convene on October 21, 2013.

 

 

     Jonathan Jaech on The Development of Law for Voluntary Law Societies."

 

Jon will discuss efforts to develop a system of laws for the construction of voluntary law societies -- communities composed of individuals who each retain law-making power. Jon is a principal of a website devote to that effort.

Here is an excerpt from their manifesto:

 

The Voluntary Law Development Association is dedicated to building, maintaining, and promoting a detailed system of alternative laws designed for voluntary adoption by individuals, using community-based development models similar to those used for open-source software.

Rather than imposing laws by political fiat or concentrating capital, VLDA aims to distribute law-making power to the very atom of society: the individual. By concurring in the selection of preferred laws, individuals coalesce into communities, here called “voluntary law societies” (VLSs).

This radical grassroots approach to law entails numerous complexities and issues that VLDA aims to bring to light and develop solutions for, as part of laying groundwork for a more equitable, free, and peaceful future society.
