There is no single source of truth. Every court case creates a new version of kaw, called case law.

Well, the body of this case law (and all other laws) is what I refer to as "single source of truth".

Yes, "single source" is very much an euphemism.

In practice it's far from a single source, but rather a poorly synchronized mess. Which is exactly what I'm proposing to fix.

If we were to wrap it into a github-style model then cases could be represented as branches. Case-law would evolve in the form of patches and pull-requests.
