Professor Dr. Daniel Martin Katz of the Michigan State University College of Law has posted materials for his course on Legal Information Engineering and Technology, at Computational Legal Studies.

The course materials include a syllabus and lecture slides.

The course covers such topics as analysis of law-related “big data” sets, quantitative legal prediction, legal Semantic Web technology, and artificial intelligence and law.

The course features presentations by Dr. Adam Wyner of the University of Liverpool Department of Computer Science, on legal Semantic Web technology, and Jack G. Conrad of Thomson Reuters, on artificial intelligence and law.

Course participants will also attend LawTechCamp London 2012, the legal technology unconference, 29 June 2012.

The course is being offered as part of The 21st Century Law Practice London Summer Program 2012, sponsored by Michigan State University College of Law and the University of Westminster School of Law.

Bruce on Fostering Dialogue Between the Different Parts of the Legal Informatics Community

Tom Bruce of the Legal Information Institute at Cornell University Law School has posted What we want from LVI2012, on his b-screeds blog.

In this post, Tom describes his goals for the upcoming conference LVI 2012: The 2012 Law via the Internet Conference, to be held 7-9 October 2012 at Cornell Law School in Ithaca, New York, USA.

Tom refers to his 2009 post entitled Big World, in which he described various components of the legal informatics field, noted that many of these components were not in regular communication with each other, and identified several reasons for this lack of dialogue and coordination.

In his new post, Tom explains how the LVI 2012 Conference has been designed to overcome these communication and coordination barriers, and to foster dialogue and cooperation among members of the many different parts of the legal informatics community.

Call for Proposals: Artificial Intelligence and Law Journal, Special 25th Anniversary Issue

A call for proposals — with submission deadline of 17 February 2012 — has been issued for a special 25th anniversary issue of the journal Artificial Intelligence and Law.

Here is an excerpt from the instructions:

Our idea is that a large number of contributors should each write a short piece about some particular paper that appeared in ICAIL [the International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Law]. The paper should be one that has contributed to the contributor’s understanding of some aspect of AI and Law, and which still has some message for today.

Contributions should be at most two pages and should cover:

• The research context of the paper: the state of the art at the time;
• The contribution of the paper (e.g. the technique, method, or question it introduced; its main theoretical or empirical results; or other contribution);
• How this contribution influenced the author personally;
• How this contribution has been developed in AI and Law;
• Why the paper is important today (e.g. lines of research that remain open, or questions that need no longer be asked).

Proposals should include a list of “three papers that you would be interested in writing about.”

The call includes a list of the most frequently cited papers from the conference. “(A complete table of contents for all ICAILs is at http://www.informatik.uni-trier.de/~ley/db/conf/icail/index.html.)”

For more information, please see the call.

Bommarito on 21st Century Legal Informatics

Michael J. Bommarito II of Computational Legal Studies has begun a new series of posts entitled 21st Century Legal Informatics.

The initial post in the series presents Mr. Bommarito’s visions of the role of technology in law practice in the 20th, 21st, and 22nd centuries. He views the current century as a transitional period between a library-based model of legal research, practice, and publishing, and a future era in which artificial intelligence applications perform most functions of lawyers.

Mr. Bommarito plans to demonstrate his conception of the 21st century as transitional phase in legal informatics, through upcoming posts on “e-Discovery, search, and legal rule exploration.”
