The 22nd edition coincides with the 40th anniversary of the ICAIL series. We invite submissions of original research papers on Artificial Intelligence and Law, covering foundations, concepts, methods, systems, tools, and applications. **Conference Tracks** * **Foundations, Knowledge Representation, and Computational Legal Theory** * Logic and argumentation: Deontic and potestative logics, defeasible reasoning, argumentation frameworks, and models of normative conflict. * Normative modeling: Formal or conceptual modeling of fundamental legal aspects (e.g., normative positions, causation, responsibility, legal qualification). * Rule- and case-based reasoning: Formal and computational models of rule-based, case-based, evidential and value-based reasoning. * Agent systems and norm emergence: Normative reasoning by autonomous agents, normative multi-agent systems, computational social science in law, complex adaptive systems modeling of legal ecosystems. * Neuro-symbolic integration: Approaches merging deep learning with symbolic legal knowledge representation and hybrid reasoning models. * Ontologies and standards: Formal models of norms, legal ontologies, semantic web mark-up languages, open linked data, and legal data standards/interoperability schemas. * **Legal Data Science, Information Retrieval, and Generative AI** * Legal NLP: Precedent-aware Named Entity Recognition, semantic role labeling, multilingual legal corpora, parsing of legal text, information extraction from text. * Information retrieval, search, and network analysis: Legal information retrieval, semantic search, recommender systems, and structural network analysis of legal systems. * Argument mining: Argument mining on unstructured legal texts and automated information extraction from legal databases. * Predictive analytics and other empirical methods: Predictive legal analytics, multi-modal legal data processing, and empirical machine learning methods applied to statutory and case law. * Generative AI, evaluation and verification: LLM applications tailored for complex legal reasoning and synthesis, accompanied by rigorous evaluation pipelines, legal benchmarking, hallucination management, and verification methods. * **Technical Governance, Legal Risk Analysis, and Normative Alignment** * Regulatory compliance engineering: Formal and technical compliance-checking systems, logic-based verification, and runtime compliance for dynamic digital and AI regulatory environments. * Algorithmic fairness and bias: Bias assessment, fairness metrics, and non-discrimination design embedded in legal, judicial, and administrative tools. * Law-based AI safety, alignment and guardrails: Risk mitigation, model guardrails, norm-aware reinforcement learning, and law-following agent architectures. * Legal risk assessment and audibility: Automated legal risk assessment, exposure modeling, liability allocation, and Explainable AI (XAI) for judicial/administrative accountability and audibility. * Accountability operationalization: Operationalization strategies for meaningful human control or other accountability frameworks. * **Legal Technologies** * Hybrid intelligence workflows: Human-in-the-loop, human-on-the-loop, and other relevant legal workflow systems. * Access to Justice (A2J) and public interest tech: AI-driven A2J tools, public interest legal technologies, and participatory data infrastructures. * Rules as Code and E-Government: Automation of the state, computational governance, and e-justice/e-democracy platforms. * Dispute resolution and negotiation: Computer-assisted and online dispute resolution (ODR), computational negotiation methods, and automated contract formation. * Smart contracts and distributed ledgers: Formal, computational, and jurisprudential challenges of smart contracts, DAOs, and decentralized dispute resolution. * Legal process, forensics and education: Legal process mining, digital forensics, evidence evaluation technology, and intelligent legal tutoring systems. **Submission Categories** * Long papers: up to 10 pages. * Short papers: up to 5 pages. * Demonstrations (Extended abstracts): up to 2 pages. --- ## 🏷 Taxonomy & Topics -
