Regarding your request in the latest AI-LIST:
George Cross, an assistant prof. at Louisiana State University has
been working for aprox. the last 2 years with a law prof. to formalize
that state's legal codes. From what I understand, Louisiana uses a
form of law, not found in other states, based on precise rules, rather
than the method of refering to past cases to obtain legal precedence.
I know he has a few unpublished papers in this area and is preparing
a paper for the Austin AAAI. From what I can tell, the work is similar
in scope to McCarty's work at Rutgers.
George can be contacted over the CS-NET: cross%lsu.csnet@CSNET-RELAY.
