Carole Hafner of Northeastern was the local organizer. The proceedings were published by the ACM (they were available for the conference). Quite a range of papers was presented. (Mine was on programming the Income Tax Act in Prolog.) There were also two conferences held at the University of Houston in 1984 and 1985, called the First and Second Annual Conferences on Law and Technology. They were organized by Charles Walter. The papers from the first conference were published by West Publishing Company (St. Paul, Minn.) as "Computing Power and Legal Reasoning", (Charles Walter, ed.), 1985, 871pp. The papers from the second conference were never published and can be found, as far as I know, only in the hands of the people who attended. (Some of them are labelled "draft - not for publication or attribution".) The West publication and the proceedings of the 1987 conference, between them, are a pretty thorough overview of what's happening in the world of AI and law.
