                            Call for Papers
 
                   Third International Conference on
                    ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE and LAW
 
                           25-28 June 1991
                   St. Catherine's College, Oxford, UK
 
   Sponsored by: The Society for Computers and Law, UK
                 In Cooperation with ACM SIGART

The field of AI and Law seeks both to  develop  useful  applications  of
computers to law and to  investigate  fundamental  mechanisms  of  legal
reasoning. In addition, many researchers see the law as an ideal problem
domain in which to address some of the basic theoretical issues  in  AI.

The purpose of ICAIL-91 is to provide a forum for  the  latest  research
results and to stimulate  further  interdisciplinary  collaboration,  to
demonstrate accomplishments in practical applications, and to provide  a
continuing focus for the growing AI and Law community. Previous meetings
of  the  International  Conference  took  place  in  Boston  (1987)  and
Vancouver (1989).In response to  the  rapid  increase  in  activity  and
interest in the field, it  is  planned  to  establish  an  International
Society for AI and Law during the Conference.

Authors are invited to submit papers on topics including but not restricted to:

           --Legal Expert Systems
           --Conceptual Information Retrieval
           --Case-based Reasoning
           --Representation of Legal and Common Sense Knowledge
           --Computational Models of Legal Reasonoing
           --Applications of AI to Law

Papers on theoretical issues in AI and in jurisprudence/legal philosophy
are invited provided that  the  relevance  to  AI  and  Law  is  clearly
demonstrated. Papers on applications should include a description of the
nature and purpose of the application, the techniques employed, and  the
current state of implementation. Submissions are due by 15 January, 1991. Papers should not exceed 5000 words. Short  papers  not  exceeding  2500
words are also  invited,  particularly  in  the  area  of  "applications
experience". Papers will be reviewed by members of the Program Committee.

Please send five (5) copies of submitted papers to the Programme Chair:
