Ask HN: Would America benefit from free training in contract law?

Specifically, I would like to implement a set of boilerplate contracts along with modular definitions and terms to help define and protect some basic rights of both the buyer and seller in various circumstances. I would also like to invest in some educational videos to help people understand the issues at play.
I am inspired by the Free Software Foundation (FSF) and the GPL, but contract law is fundamentally different than copyright law.
The Free Software Foundation has successfully provided education and legal tools to an entire generation of software engineers for copyright and patent law. I would like for similar work to be done in the contract law space to help people make better decisions.
As a follow-up, would there be real value in investing some of my limited time, effort and resources into this project or would I be better served by self-education around contract law.
