Abstract

The literature on computer-based consultation systems has often suggested the possibility of building an expert system in the field of law, but it is only recently that several researchers have begun to explore this possibility seriously. For this session, we have assembled summaries of six major projects on the applications of artificial intelligence to legal problem domains, and we have invited representatives of these six projects to participate in a panel discussion of their work.
