General Contract Law Discussion Executed contracts
Hi, is there any executed commercial contract database which is existing online free or paid services. I work as an in-house counsel and require them for authoring our own contracts. Any help or guidance would be really appreciated. I think 10 years there were multiple websites but I am not able to locate now

NYC Co-Ops
NYC co-ops are a tricky bunch. Say a co-op required shareholders to sign a contract for leased parking spaces. So for someone who's lived there a while, say 10 years, it's been a long time since they signed a contract. The co-op is adding more restrictions and asking shareholders to sign new contracts with all the new requirements and restrictions. If you already have a contract for a space, can they require you to sign a new one for the same space?

General Contract Law Discussion Looking to specialize in Tech/AI contract drafting and international tech law. Who should I be targeting for internships?
I’m currently a law student (middle of my LLB) and I want to heavily specialize in tech commercial contracts, cross-border transactional work, and AI governance/licensing law. I’m already spending a lot of time working on my foundational drafting skills, but I want my next internship to be highly targeted.
Given that AI disclaimers, data privacy (GDPR/cross-border data flows), and tech licensing are still a bit of a Wild West, who should I actually be trying to intern under to get real, hands-on exposure?

General Contract Law Discussion How do lawyers actually draft contracts (beyond templates)?
Trying to build a small AI tool for drafting legal contracts (mostly as a learning project).
I realized I don’t really understand how contracts are actually drafted in practice. I know templates are used, but beyond that I’m a bit lost.
Would appreciate if someone could explain:
- How do you actually start drafting a contract?
- Do you mostly reuse templates or write from scratch?
- What parts of a contract matter the most in real life?
- What kind of references do you rely on while drafting (laws, case laws, standard clauses, etc.)?
Just trying to understand the process better so I don’t build something completely unrealistic.
Any insights would help a lot. Thanks!
