This website is open! (May 27, 2016)


Aims and Scope

Juris-informatics is a new research area which studies legal issues from the perspective of informatics. The purpose of this workshop is to discuss both the fundamental and practical issues among people from the various backgrounds such as law, social science, information and intelligent technology, logic and philosophy, including the conventional "AI and law" area. We solicit unpublished papers on theories, technologies and applications on juris-informatics.


Important Dates

Submission Deadline: September 5, 2016 (Extended)
Notification: October 3, 2016 (Revised)
Camera-ready due: October 17, 2016

Registration

Please register the workshop at registration page of JSAI International Symposia on AI 2016.

Topics

Relevant topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Model of legal reasoning
  • Argumentation / Negotiation / Argumentation agent
  • Legal term ontology
  • Formal legal knowledge-base / Intelligent management of legal knowledge-base
  • Translation of legal documents
  • Information retrieval of legal texts
  • Computer-aided law education
  • Use of Informatics and AI in law
  • Legal issues on ubiquitous computing / multi-agent system / the Internet
  • Social implications of use of informatics and AI in law
  • Natural language processing for legal knowledge
  • Verification and validation of legal knowledge systems
  • Any theories and technologies which is not directly related with juris-informatics but has a potential to contribute to this domain

Bar Exam Competition

This year, JURISIN invites participation in a legal information extraction and entailment competition. Previous conferences/workshops have not conducted such a shared task on a large legal data collection, so we hope that the 2015 workshop will help establish a major experimental effort in the legal information extraction/retrieval field. The motivation for the competition is to help create a research community of practice for the capture and use of legal information.
Please visit the homepage of the bar exam competition.

Submissions

We welcome and encourage the submission of high quality, original papers, which are not simultaneously submitted for publication elsewhere except as a submission to JURIX 2016 (The 29th International Conference on Legal Knowledge and Information Systems). The double submission policy with JURIX 2016 is as follows:

  1. Papers being submitted both to JURISIN2016 and JURIX2016 must note this on the title page.
  2. A paper to be presented at JURISIN2016 must be withdrawn from JURIX2016 and vice versa according to the choice by the authors.
  3. If the authors do not follow this double submission policy, the paper by the authors will not be included in the proceedings of JURISIN2016.

Papers should be written in English, formatted according to the Springer Verlag LNCS style in a pdf form, which can be obtained from http://www.springeronline.com and not exceed 14 pages including figures, references, etc. If you use a word file, please follow the instruction of the format, and then convert it into a pdf form and submit it at the paper submission page. If a paper is accepted, at least one author of the paper must register the workshop and present it. We strongly encourage an online registration.

You can submit your paper at "https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jurisin2016".

If you cannot submit a paper by EasyChair System by some trouble, please send email to:

Title: Electronic Person - rights for robot

Abstract: The European Parliament's draft report on Civil Law Rules on Robotics is understood to be aiming at the conception of a legal framework for robots classifying autonomous robots as ``electronic persons'' with specific rights and obligations. The concept of attributing rights and obligation to a robot – instead of to it's owner or producer – implicates nothing less than a revolution in law and legal philosophy. In the presenation, the concept will be discussed from a regulatory perpective and the benefits and risks of the concept examined.

Abstract: The new generation of technology development -- including Computational intelligence, Cognitive Computing, Internet of Things, Social Computing and Virtual Reality, and others ? will disrupt the economic and social model of every human endeavor. Advances in these domains are inevitable, irreversible, and their impact is immeasurable. The questions are: how to promote strategies to embrace, commercialize, and monetize these new technologies? How to prepare business and society to this new technology revolution? And, how to position current business to be part of this evolution reaping the benefits of disruptive technologies?

Title: Technological Development and Japanese Law regarding Artificial Intelligence

Abstract: Thanks to the development and deepening of cutting-edge technology in AI (Artificial Intelligence) it is becoming possible for AI to create sophisticated creations and perform decision making which previously only a human could. However, the current Japanese legal system gives fact that rights and duties are both based on natural or juridical persons. Hence it is urgently necessary to consider whether to acknowledge the rights of the AI's creation and to whom (or what) responsibilities resulting from the AI's action belongs. The Japanese government is currently engaged in revising our act, rules, and guidelines for medical diagnosis systems and radio waves use by robots. They also need to fundamentally reexamine the rights and duties of AI. To consider and confirm the principles of the whole AI legislation is a challenge for Japanese laws.
