Call for Papers DESI V Workshop at ICAIL 2013
The DESI (Discovery of Electronically Stored Information) workshop series addresses the problem of searching effectively and efficiently for relevant documents, in the context of litigation or investigation, across increasingly complex, enterprise-wide collections within corporate and institutional settings. The workshops discuss the use of AI and other advanced forms of search techniques in legal settings, as cost-efficient alternatives to traditional Boolean and manual searching. At DESI V, we intend to focus on best practices and standards for using predictive coding and other forms of machine learning in e-discovery.
The submission deadline is May 1 for research papers and May 8 for position papers. For more information see the workshop website at http://www.umiacs.umd.edu/~oard/desi5/

AI & Law Journal: special issue ICAIL at 25
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

JURIX 2011 Workshop on The Fundamental Concepts and the Systematization of Law
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.

JURIX 2011 Workshop on Policy Making
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.
