[comp.ai.digest] Legal Modelling

FQOJ@CORNELLA.BITNET (Roger Jagoda Sibley FTOP) (04/07/87)

For a change of pace on this net I'd like to ask if anyone out there has
any information or experience with Legal (as in LAW not lawful)
expert systems. I myself am from the engineering disciplines, but
the Law School here is interested in developing a learning tool with a
bank of legal precedences as the rule set. The inference engine will be
designed by the students as part of the legal argument entered to the
computer "judge". The concept sounded so interesting I thought I'd probe
the nets and see if there were any of you out there that had some ideas
for starting points. If there's enough interest/response I'll summarize
the responses back to the list. Thanks in advance.
