Fourteenth International Workshop on Juris-informatics
(JURISIN 2020)
associated with JSAI International Symposia on AI 2020 (IsAI-2020)


November 16 - 17, 2020 (Online Workshop)

New Information

Due to many requests, the deadline of submission is extended to Sep 11!!
The JSAI-IsAI 2020 chair decided that the whole symposium will be held on line so be JURISIN 2020 due to COVID-19.
We are happy to announce that Springer Verlag has agreed on publication of post-proceedings as LNAI!!

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 We solicit unpublished papers on theories, technologies and applications on juris-informatics.

Workshop: November 15 - 17, 2020

Submission Deadline: September 11, 2020 ( AOE , extended!!)
Notification: October 5, 2020( extended!!)
Camera-ready due: October 12, 2020 ( AOE , extended!!)

COLIEE 2020

This year, JURISIN will co-located with the Seventh Competition on Legal Information Extraction/Entailment (COLIEE-2020). 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 COLIEE2020 (https://sites.ualberta.ca/~rabelo/COLIEE2020/) to see the detail of the 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 2020 (The 33rd International Conference on Legal Knowledge and Information Systems). The double submission policy with JURIX 2020 is as follows:

  1. Papers being submitted both to JURISIN2020 and JURIX2020 must note this on the title page.
  2. A paper to be presented at JURISIN2020 must be withdrawn from JURIX2020 and vice versa according to the choice by the authors.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 2020.

Papers should be written in English, formatted according to the Springer Verlag LNCS style in a pdf form, which can be obtained from https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines 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:

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jurisin2020. If you cannot submit a paper by EasyChair System by some trouble, please send email to "ksatoh[at]nii.ac.jp"

If a paper is accepted, at least one author of the paper must register the workshop through an online registration before submitting a camera-read copy, and present the paper on site if an on-site workshop is held, or present the paper on line if any authors cannot attend the session on site or if on-line workshop is held. Without fulfilling this condition, the paper will not be in the proceedings.

Post Proceedings

Selected papers will be published as a post-proceedings via Springer Verlag LNAI series after the second round of review after the workshop.

The selected papers of the previous workshops were published as volumes of LNAI4914(JURISIN 2007), LNAI5447(JURISIN 2008), LNAI6284(JURISIN 2009) , LNAI6797(JURISIN2010), LNAI7258(JURISIN2011), LNAI7856(JURISIN2012), LNAI8417(JURISIN2013), LNAI9067(JURISIN2014), LNAI10091(JURISIN2015), LNAI10247(JURISIN2016), LNAI10838(JURISIN2017), LNAI11717(JURISIN2018), and LNAI12331 (JURISIN2019).
