The Eighth International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Law
(ICAIL) will take place from May 21-25, 2001 in St. Louis, Missouri, USA.
The Conference is the premier international gathering of scholars,
researchers, and practitioners interested in AI as it relates to law. The
Conference includes a new one-day practical workshop called "Legal
Knowledge Systems
in Action: Practical AI in Today's Law Offices" that will be held on May 21,
2001.
The aim of this workshop is to create a forum for the practical discussion of
real-world AI and knowledge management applications by both researchers and
practitioners: those who research the possible applications of AI in the legal
field,
those who actually develop AI tools for legal practice, and those who use (or might
use) them. The workshop will include presentations of papers, demonstrations of
tools, and a panel discussion with audience participation. We would particularly
like
to invite researchers in the field of AI and law, lawyers, publishers, companies that
develop specific tools for law practice, consultants, law firm CIOs and law firm
administrators to contribute, participate and attend.
Call for papers
We invite interested authors to submit papers on topics related to
practical AI applications, including description of applications,
requirements for such applications, legal knowledge management models or
tools, knowledge based applications enhancing legal e-business and
e-commerce, and related topics.
Please note that because the workshop focuses on practical applications, we
are not requiring that papers be "academic" or "formal" or meet any
particular format or length guidelines as required for papers submitted to
the main Conference. Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings
of the workshop.
Persons interested in making presentations without submitting a paper are
encouraged to submit a "statement of interest."
Important dates:
Deadline for submission of papers and statements of interest: March 1, 2001
Notification of acceptance: April 1, 2001
Final version of paper due: May 1, 2001
Papers should be submitted in a standard format (Word, WordPerfect, RTF,
HTML) by e-mail to each member of the program committee.
