The ASAIL workshop series and interest group serves as a platform for researchers and practitioners working on natural language processing of legal text. Its goals include:

• Organising regular peer-reviewed workshop events for presentation and discussion of research and practical implementations around legal NLP

• Facilitating communication and collaboration among academic researchers as well as practitioners from industry, government, and the public sector, and other interested individuals and organisations

• Providing an entry point into the research field and community

ASAIL is affiliated with the International Association of Artificial Intelligence and Law (IAAIL). The first workshop was held at the 2015 ICAIL conference followed by successors at later ICAILs (and one Jurix conference).
