TV platforms are designed for a remote-controlled, sit-back-and-watch user experience, which is ill-suited for reading long legal documents.
The user is experience is poor for long-form reading:
- reading at a distance: key design principle for a TV user experience is that the interface is viewed from 10". Trying to read a lengthy legal document on a television screen from across the room would be frustrating and cause eye strain
- inefficient navigation: TV user interfaces are optimized for media playback and navigating visual content, not for scrolling through pages of text. Focus-based LRUD interfaces make it difficult to read a continuous block of text and quickly find specific clauses
These legal documents are required though even for tvOS apps.

What is more common to do is:
- display condensed version in-app
