      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 for juris-informatics 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We solicit unpublished papers on theories, technologies and applications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.

      Topics

Relevant topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

* Legal reasoning
* Argumentation/Argumentation agent
* Legal term ontology
* Formal legal knowledge-base/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

      Submissions

We welcome and encourage the submission of high quality, original
papers, which are not simultaneously submitted for publication
elsewhere. Papers should be written in English, formatted according to
the Springer Verlag LNCS style in a pdf form , which can be obtained
from http://www.springeronline.com, and not exceed 12 pages including
figures, references, etc.
If you use a word file, please follow the instruction of the format,
and then convert it into a pdf form and submit it to
the designated page which will be announced later.
If a paper is accepted, at least one author of the paper must register
the workshop and present it.

      Proceedings

A printed volume of the proceedings with ISBN will be available at the
workshop.

      Post Proceedings

We are now negotiating with Springer Verlag about publishing selected
papers of the workshop as a volume of LNAI. If it is the case, the
authors of papers presented at the workshop will be asked to extend
their contributions, possibly incorporating the results of the workshop
discussion, to be included in the workshop post-proceedings, after
another round of refereeing.

Note that the selected papers of the first and the second workshops have
been published as volumes of LNAI4914 and LNAI5447 respectively and the
selected papers of the third workshop is now under editing for LNAI
publication.

      Financial Support for Students

We have received some budget from JSAI for partial economical support
for travelling costs for promising foreign students whose papers have
been accepted to be presented at JURISIN2010. The amount of the whole
support is 200,000 yen and we divide it to students who need a support.
The actual support will vary based on the number of applicants and
where students come from.
