JURIX 2025: Call for Papers

The 38th International Conference on Legal Knowledge and Information Systems (JURIX 2025) will be held in Turin, Italy, from December 9-11, 2025.

The JURIX conference series aims to foster scientific exchange between researchers, practitioners, and students dedicated to exploring advancements, challenges, and opportunities of technologies applied to legal and para-legal activities. We invite submissions of original papers on legal information, legal knowledge systems, artificial intelligence and law, and computational and socio-technical approaches to law.

Topics

The conference covers foundations, methods, tools, systems, interfaces, and applications. Submissions are invited in the following areas, but not limited to:

I – Logics and Normative Systems

• Computational theories of law
• Computational representations of legal rules and domain-specific languages (DSLs) for law
• Formal logics and computational models of legal reasoning and decision-making (e.g., deontic logic, formal argumentation, statutory, rule-based, case-based, evidential reasoning), including relevant concepts such as qualification, causation, responsibility
• Formal models of norms and norm-governed systems
• Knowledge representation, knowledge engineering, and ontologies in the legal domain
• Semantic web, open and linked data, mark-up languages for the legal domain
• Normative reasoning by autonomous agents; multi-agent systems: norm operationalization, norm emergence
• Computational methods for agent-based modelling for policy-making and norm-making
• Computational methods for negotiation, contract formation, dispute resolution
• Computational methods for preference aggregation and voting
• Computational methods for compliance-checking, authorization, auditing, and regulation
• Computational methods for AI and Data Governance

II – Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning

• Argument mining on legal texts
• Machine learning methods and models for legal document classification, information retrieval, automatic summarization of legal text
• Machine learning methods and models in support to regulatory and contract drafting
• Natural language processing for legal text analysis, including law-specific standard NLP tasks (Named Entity Recognition, Semantic Role Labelling, Translation, etc.)
• Information extraction, text understanding (e.g. entailment) from legal data and texts
• Question-answering systems, chatbots, and dialog systems in the legal domain
• Network analysis applied to legal documents (statutory law, case law, jurisprudence) and legal data
• Knowledge discovery, Causal discovery, and Process mining in the legal domain
• Recommender systems in the legal domain
• Datasets and other resources that have a high potential to support significant future research in AI & Law
• Deployment of Large Language Models and conversational agents

III – Cognitive and Socio-Technical Systems

• Cognitive computing and AI-enabled information systems for legal knowledge management (legal research and case management), legal data visualization, and decision support
• Hybrid architectures (symbolic and sub-symbolic) in legal applications
• Human-computer interaction in legal applications
• Explainable AI for legal applications
• Fairness and bias mitigation in AI systems for legal practices
• Technical regulation of AI, data-sharing, information processing, and computing systems
• AI-enabled information systems improving access to justice and equal opportunities
• e-government, e-democracy, and e-justice
• AI applications in legal education and training
• Intelligent legal tutoring systems, intelligent support systems for forensics
• Blockchain and DLT for Law and Governance
