Friday June 14th 2013, Rome, Italy
In conjunction with ICAIL 2013: XIV International Conference on AI and Law
(http://icail2013.ittig.cnr.it/)

This workshop aims to bring together researchers from computational social
science, computational legal theory, network science and related disciplines
in order to discuss the use and usefulness of network analysis in the legal
domain. We are thinking of both *social* networks (of e.g. legal scholars or
criminals) and the network of *sources of law* (sources referring to other
sources form a network). Topics include the (re)construction, analysis and
visualisation of these networks and their interactions.

We invite papers on and demonstrations of original work on these and other
aspects of network analysis in the legal field. Submissions will be subject to
a light review process on appropriateness for this call, originality of the
research described and technical quality.

Submission of papers not exceeding 3000 words should be done through Easychair
at:

https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=nail2013

Important Dates
Submission due:                    May 1st 2013
Accept/Reject notification:      May 15th 2013

Workshop Format: Short presentations and/or demonstrations and discussion.

Publication Opportunities: Selected papers will be published in a volume of
the Series “Law Science Technology”, published by ESI.

2nd International Conference on Alternative Methods of Argumentation in Law ARGUMENTATION 2012

Posted on by admin

2nd International Conference on Alternative Methods of Argumentation in Law

ARGUMENTATION 2012

http://argumentation2012.wordpress.com/

About

Argumentation, reasoning and justification have always been inherent parts of lawyers’ work. Lawyers themselves are obviously well aware of the fact and would almost unanimously acknowledge that enhancing one’s knowledge and skills in argumentation has a direct impact on the quality of their work.

The ambition of the conference is to establish a permanent platform to discuss and explore the alternative methods of legal argumentation, i.e. those that are not regularly employed in everyday legal practice, but would prove extremely valuable if adopted. It is thus our intention to bring new stimuli to both the approaches to the argumentation by showing that the outcomes of both are valuable and can be combined in coherent theories.

The conference consists of four workshops/streams each specialized in a specific and unique method of studying legal argumentation:

Important Dates
