[net.ai] expert systems and legal reasoning

dave%Berkeley@utcsrgv.UUCP (04/01/84)

A recent request asked for information about expert systems and legal
reasoning. I suggest anyone interested in that field get onto Law:Forum,
a discussion group running under CONFER on an MTS system at Wayne
State University in Michigan. Access is free, with computer charges
and Telenet charges being picked up by the Markle Foundation grant
which is funding the project. Most of the major people involved
in developing legal reasoning systems (Thorne McCarty, Layman Allen,
Jim Sprowl, several others) are involved in Law:Forum and participate
regularly.

If you want to get onto Law:Forum, and can be reached electronically,
send me your electronic address:

If you have no electronic address, I can't ship out the access information
to you, so send a letter directly to the conference organizer:

        Canada                  (sorry, don't have the postal code handy)
