For more than 20 years the Jurix Conference has provided an international forum for academics and practitioners in the field of legal informatics for sharing ideas and experiences on the representation of legal content and its representation in computer systems.
The 23rd edition of Jurix will be organised by the University of Liverpool.
We invite submission of original papers on the advanced management of legal information and knowledge (foundations, methods, tools, systems and applications), including but not limited to the following:
– systems supporting lawyers, in legal reasoning, document drafting, negotiation
– systems supporting the production and management of legislation, in agenda setting, – policy analysis, drafting, workflow management, monitoring implementation
– systems supporting the judiciary, in application of the law, analysis of evidence, management of cases
– systems supporting police activities, in forensic inquiries, search and evaluation of evidence, management of investigations
– systems supporting public administration, in applying regulations and managing information
– systems for the retrieval of legal information
– systems supporting legal education
– systems for digital-rights management
– systems supporting the acquisition, management or use of legal knowledge, using rules, cases, neural networks, intelligent agents or other methods

– theoretical foundations for the use of Artificial Intelligence in the legal domain
– models of legal knowledge, including concepts (legal ontologies), rules, cases, principles, values and procedures
– models of legal inference and argumentation
– methods for verifying and validating legal knowledge systems
– methods and techniques for managing legal information in the semantic web

Papers should not be simultaneously submitted for publication elsewhere except as a submission to JURISIN 2010. The double submission policy with JURISIN 2010 is as follows:
Papers being submitted both to JURISIN 2010 and JURIX 2010 must note this on the title page.
A paper to be published and presented at JURIX 2010 must be withdrawn from JURISIN 2010 and vice versa according to the choice by the authors.
If the authors do not follow this double submission policy, the paper by the authors will not be included in the proceedings of JURIX 2010.
Deadline for paper submission is September 5th, 2010. Papers should be submitted through the Jurix Easychair system, using PDF, PostScript or Word format, and should not exceed 10 pages when formatted using the styles and guidelines in the Instructions for Authors. Author instructions and style sheets can be found at the IOS Press site.
The conference proceedings will be published by IOS Press (Amsterdam, Berlin, Oxford, Tokyo, Washington DC) in their series Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence and Applications before the Conference.
The Jurix conferences are held under the auspices of the Dutch Foundation for Legal Knowledge Systems (www.jurix.nl).
Proposals for tutorials and workshops are invited and strongly encouraged. All proposals, including a short description of the topic, should be sent to the Program Chair by email.
