* Legal reasoning
* Argumentation/Argumentation agent
* Legal term ontology
* Formal / Intelligent management of legal knowledge-base
* Translation of legal documents
* Computer-aided law education
* Use of Informatics and AI in law
* Legal issues on ubiquitous computing/multi-agent system/the Internet
* Social implications of use of informatics and AI in law
