Research towards online legal aid tool

May 11th, 2010

The universities of Twente and Tilburg received a subsidy for the project `diagnosis and triage for conflicts’. The project will develop and evaluate an online tool for legal aid. The tool is intended to improve people’s self-support and temper unrealistic expectations of chances in court. The University of Twente will focus on psychological aspects, whereas Tilburg University addresses the legal side.

More information about the project can be found here (Dutch):

LOAIT 2010 Workshop

May 10th, 2010

4th Workshop on Legal Ontologies and Artificial Intelligence Techniques
“Legal Concepts and Ontologies: knowledge representation, comparison, harmonization and learning”

http://www.ittig.cnr.it/loait/loait10.html

July 7th, 2010, Fiesole (Florence), Italy
Paper submission: May 3rd, 2010 (***Extended deadline: May 16th, 2010***)

held in conjunction with Deon-10
http://defeasible.org/deon2010/


The LOAIT workshop aims to offer an overview of theories and well-founded applications that combine Legal Ontologies and AI techniques, with regard both to theories and implementations.
Over the last years the management of legal information has been significantly influenced by approaches from Artificial Intelligence (AI). In particular, legal reasoning, advanced semantic and cross-language legal information retrieval, legal drafting and document classification, have proved to be fertile areas where ontologies are successfully applied.

Important Dates
* May 3rd, 2010: Paper submission (***Extended deadline: May 16th, 2010***)
* May 26th, 2010: Notification of acceptance (***Postponed: June 9th, 2010***)
* June 7th, 2010: Camera-ready paper (***Postponed: June 23rd, 2010***)
* July 7th, 2010: Workshop
