The
6th International Workshop on JURIS-Informatics
(JURISIN 20012) will be held in Miyazaki, Japan, on
November 30 - December 1, 2012. 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 for juris-informatics 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.
Unpublished papers are sollicited on theories,
technologies and applications on juris-informatics. The
submission deadline is September 17, 2012. For more
information see the workshop webpages.

2012
sees the 25th anniversary of the International
Conference on AI and Law. This conference series has
played an important role in the development of AI and
Law, by bringing researchers together and developing a
community, and by being the forum in which many
important ideas were introduced.
To mark this anniversary, the editors of AI and Law
journal would like to produce a special issue of that
journal. The proposed format will be a little unusual,
since it is intended to reflect the breadth of the
conference and the range of the papers that have
appeared there. The idea is that a large number of
contributors should each write a short piece about some
particular paper that appeared in ICAIL. The paper
should be one that has contributed to the contributor's
understanding of some aspect of AI and Law, and which
still has some message for today.
The deadline for expressions of interest is February
17th. For more information see

The purpose of this workshop is to discuss the
fundamental concepts of law and to develop theories and
methods to systematize law. In Vienna, where JURIX 2011
is held, Hans Kelsen developed his general theory of
law, in which he systematized law as a united order in
terms of legal norms clarifying fundamental concepts of
law. Considering the achievements of Hans Kelsen, it is
worthwhile to try to clarify fundamental concepts of
law and to systematize law applying recent scientific
perspectives and methods of thought in terms of
artificial intelligence and law.

As
the European Union develops, issues about governance,
legitimacy, and transparency become more pressing.
National governments and the EU Commission realise the
need to promote widespread, deliberative democracy in
the policy-making cycle, which has several phases: 1)
agenda setting, 2) policy analysis, 3) lawmaking, 4)
administration and implementation, and 5) monitoring.
As governments must become more efficient and effective
with the resources available, modern information and
communications technology (ICT) are being drawn on to
address problems of information processing in the
phases. One of the key problems is policy content
analysis and modelling, particularly the gap between on
the one hand policy proposals and formulations that are
expressed in quantitative and narrative forms and on
the other hand formal models that can be used to
systematically represent and reason with the
information contained in the proposals and
formulations.
The workshop invites submissions of original research
about the application of ICT to the early phases of the
policy cycle, namely those before the legislators fix
the legislation: agenda setting, policy analysis, and
lawmaking. The research should seek to address the gap
noted above. The workshop focuses particularly on using
and integrating a range of subcomponents – information
extraction, text processing, representation, modelling,
simulation, reasoning, and argument – to provide policy
making tools to the public and public administrators.
