Law, computers and AI

Law, computers and AI Artificial Intelligence Review 6, 127--128, 1992. Editorial This issue deals with AI, computers and law. More precisely, the issue deals with overlaps of interest in these three subjects. Apart from the obvious overlap between AI and law concerning the topic of legal expert systems and appro- priate representations of legal knowledge, there are other topics which attract the attention of researchers in this interdisciplinary area. The aim of this issue is to introduce the reader of AIR to these topics. It should also be mentioned that, looking back over past issues of this journal, I could not find another article on this multidisciplinary area. Hence, another aim of this special issue is to provide a spread of papers so that the reader is provided with a broad rather than a narrow introduction. The subject of legal expert systems has moved on significantly since the heady days of the 1980s when Prolog was used as the representation formalism and implementation mechanism. Beardon (1991) gives a credible account of how, historically, this logic-based computational approach seemed the most appropriate to try in the circumstances.

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence Review 6, 127--128, 1992. Editorial This issue deals with AI, computers and law. More precisely, the issue deals with overlaps of interest in these three subjects. Apart from the obvious overlap between AI and law concerning the topic of legal expert systems and appro- priate representations of legal knowledge, there are other topics which attract the attention of researchers in this interdisciplinary area. The aim of this issue is to introduce the reader of AIR to these topics. It should also be mentioned that, looking back over past issues of this journal, I could not find another article on this multidisciplinary area. Hence, another aim of this special issue is to provide a spread of papers so that the reader is provided with a broad rather than a narrow introduction. The subject of legal expert systems has moved on significantly since the heady days of the 1980s when Prolog was used as the representation formalism and implementation mechanism.
