Fourteenth International Workshop on Juris-informatics
(JURISIN 2020)
associated with JSAI International Symposia on AI 2020 (IsAI-2020)
November 16 - 17, 2020 (Online Workshop)
New Information
Due to many requests, the deadline of submission is extended to Sep 11!!
The JSAI-IsAI 2020 chair decided that the whole symposium will be held on line so be JURISIN 2020 due to COVID-19.
We are happy to announce that Springer Verlag has agreed on publication of post-proceedings as LNAI!!
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We solicit unpublished papers on theories, technologies and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

COLIEE 2020
This year, JURISIN will co-located with the Seventh Competition on Legal Information Extraction/Entailment (COLIEE-2020). 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 COLIEE2020
to see the detail of the competition.
