This is a really interesting concept and it seems like the execution is there too. As someone who used to do marketing for startups I do have some unsolicited advice about your spiel.

I'm not sure if 'jQuery for law using git' is the best tagline. While it sounds intriguing, and definitely got me as a developer interested, it took me far long to actually understand what you are doing.

From what I can tell you are shortening legalese to readable text, correct? So in my opinion it would be better to say that from the beginning. Legalese is a cool problem to solve, and would definitely have people interested, so if you just say that from the get-go I think it could be a lot more effective.

The jQuery thing sounds cool, but I think its one of those tag lines that sounds awesome but doesn't actually describe what you are doing.

Good luck!
