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We solicit unpublished papers on theories, technologies and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

* Legal issues on ubiquitous computing/multi-agent system/the Internet
* Social implications of use of informatics and AI in law

papers, which are not simultaneously submitted for publication
elsewhere. Papers should be written in English, formatted according to

Post Proceedings

JSAI has been negotiating with Springer Verlag to publish selected
papers of the workshop in the JSAI2008 post-proceedings as a volume of
