Trending legal and compliance repos on GitHub.

Contracts, privacy law, regulation and compliance checks. 18 of the repos we track match legal and compliance at high confidence, with 30,054 stars between them. The biggest is anthropics/claude-for-legal at 9.8k stars.

How these repos were chosen

So far anthropics/claude-for-legal has gained the most stars here (+34); a full week of numbers is ready on Oct 30.

Each repo is scored from three kinds of evidence: its GitHub topics, words in its description (whole words, any case) and words in its name. A strong term is worth 2 points and a weak one 1, one kind counts for at most 3, and the total is the confidence: high from 4 (two kinds agree), medium from 2, low at 1. A repo is in at most two industries. This page lists high repos only. The strong terms are:

#legal#legaltech#legal-tech#law#laws#lawyer#gdpr#compliance#ccpa#hipaa#soc2#regulatory#regtech#license-compliance#terms-of-service#privacy-policy
“legal”“lawyers”“law firm”“court”“gdpr”“compliance”“regulatory”“hipaa”“soc 2”“privacy policy”“terms of service”“legal documents”“case law”“legislation”“attorney”

A repo is listed only if it is a product you can use: GitHub says it is not a fork and not archived, it had a push in the last 12 months, it has a license, and it is not a list, a course, a tutorial or a template. Besides the repos that have a page here, we add repos from 300 stars up that we found by searching for the words of the industry and in GitHub topics, so a repo can be here before it has a full week of star numbers.

Of the 18 repos listed, all are high; 7 more matched at medium and 0 at low and are left out. On Oct 25, 2026 we read 150 sorted repos from all industries by hand, 50 at each confidence: 46 of 50 high (92%) were in the right industry, against 30 of 50 medium (60%) at medium and 19 of 50 low (38%) at low. The sample covers all industries, so expect an occasional repo here that does not belong.

Questions

How does RepoTrending decide which repos are in legal and compliance?

A repo is scored from three kinds of evidence: its GitHub topics (for example #legal, #legaltech, #legal-tech and #law), words in its description (for example "legal", "lawyers" and "law firm") and words in its name. A strong term is worth 2 points and a weak one 1, one kind counts for at most 3, and the total gives the confidence: high from 4, which needs two kinds to agree. This page lists the 18 high repos; 7 more matched at medium and 0 at low and are left out. It reads no README and no code, and a repo can be in at most two industries.

What is the fastest-growing legal and compliance repo on GitHub this week?

anthropics/claude-for-legal leads so far (+34), but the weekly ranking is not complete yet: it is ready on Oct 30.

How accurate is the sort?

Not fully, but high is the level we trust. On Oct 25, 2026 we read 150 sorted repos by hand, 50 at each confidence: 46 of 50 high (92%) were in the right industry, against 30 of 50 medium (60%) at medium and 19 of 50 low (38%) at low. The sample covers all industries, so it says how reliable the sort is, not how clean this one page is. A word can mean something else in another field.
