sboghossian Marketplace Router — Site Navigation
Purpose
Route visitors to the platform's legal marketplace — a planned phase-2 feature that allows browsing and purchasing/accessing:
- Third-party legal document templates (vetted by jurisdiction-specialist lawyers).
- Add-on AI skills (specialist skills contributed by law firms or legal tech providers).
- Lawyer matching / referral services (connecting users with vetted lawyers in specific jurisdictions).
- Legal research subscriptions or integrations.
As of the current version, this is a phase-2 feature. The routing architecture is defined here so the implementation can be built against a stable spec.

Intended marketplace architecture (phase 2)
Categories
- Documents & Templates — jurisdiction-tagged templates from vetted contributors; one-time purchase or subscription.
- Skills & Add-ons — specialist AI skills for niche practice areas or jurisdictions; installed to the user's account.
- Lawyer Connect — verified lawyer profiles; initial consult booking; jurisdiction and practice-area filtered.
- Integrations — connector skills linking to external legal research databases, court filing systems, or practice management tools.
Listing requirements (for marketplace contributors)
- Jurisdiction(s) covered: explicit list.
- Last reviewed date: mandatory; auto-expires after 12 months if not renewed.
- Lawyer-authored / reviewed badge: requires licensed practitioner attestation.
- Pricing: clear; one-time, subscription, or per-use.
- Refund policy: template for standard terms.
Routing logic (planned)
1. Parse navigation intent (see signals above).
2. Route to /marketplace?category=[category]
3. Within category, support filters: jurisdiction, practice area, price range, rating.
4. Each listing links to a detail page with preview, reviews, and purchase/install CTA.
5. After purchase/install: route back to product or to the installed template/skill.
Current state — pre-launch
Until the marketplace launches:
- Route
/marketplacerequests to a "coming soon" page with email capture (waitlist for marketplace). - Route "buy template" or "premium template" requests to the free document library ([[site-legal-document-router]]) with an upsell note about the upcoming marketplace.
- Route "find a lawyer" requests to the relevant bar association directory or legal aid resource.
