Eighth International Workshop on Juris-informatics
(JURISIN 2014)
JSAI International Symposia on AI


November 23 - 24, 2014

Raiosha Building, Keio University Kanagawa, Japan

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 We solicit unpublished papers on theories, technologies and applications on juris-informatics.

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 2014 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 2014 (The 27th International Conference on Legal Knowledge and Information Systems). The double submission policy with JURIX 2014 is as follows:

  1. Papers being submitted both to JURISIN2014 and JURIX2014 must note this on the title page.
  2. A paper to be presented at JURISIN2014 must be withdrawn from JURIX2014 and vice versa according to the choice by the authors.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 JURISIN 2014.

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.
