[net.ai] Judicial Expert Systems?

DSchmitz.es@Xerox.ARPA (03/29/84)

I'd like to know if there's any work going on out there toward the
development of expert systems (or other AI-type systems) designed to
assist in making legal decisions.  Such systems as I have in mind would
be used by judges, lawyers, legal theorists, perhaps even international
courts.

Please reply to DSchmitz.es@PARC-MAXC

Thank you

[I believe there has been work at Stanford and at Yale.  I also remember
reading some newspaper account of a man who wishes to market an
automated jury: each side types in its legal precedents and
the computer decides which side wins.  AIList carried a seminar
notice the Stanford work last year.  Can anyone give more specific
information?  -- KIL]
