** 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 We solicit unpublished papers on theories, technologies and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.

** Relevant topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
    Model of legal reasoning
    Argumentation / Negotiation / Argumentation agent
    Legal term ontology
    Formal legal knowledge-base / Intelligent management of legal
knowledge-base
    Translation of legal documents
    Information retrieval of legal texts
    Computer-aided law education
    Use of Informatics and AI in law
    Legal issues on applications of robotics and AI to society
    Social implications of use of informatics and AI in law
    Natural language processing for legal knowledge
    Verification and validation of legal knowledge systems
    Any theories and technologies which is not directly related with
juris-informatics but has a potential to contribute to this domain

** Invited Speakers
Kevin D. Ashley (University of Pittsburgh)
Katsumi Nitta (Tokyo Institute of Technology)

** 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 2017 (The 28th International Conference on Legal Knowledge and Information Systems).
