Paper types:

In view of the novelty of this workshop focus, three primary types of papers are sought: Research, Application and Ideation. Research papers should include some form of empirical evaluation, appropriate to the nature of the paper. Application papers should actively demonstrate one or more of the themes above involving comparative studies, evaluation or other type of examination. Ideation papers are similar to a position paper in that experimental results are not required. However, while Ideation papers permit discussion of ideas that are not tested, they should be testable. An Ideation paper should contain concrete proposals on how the ideas would be evaluated and implemented, and the significance or impact of doing so.

Submission guidelines:

Papers should be no longer than 8 pages. Authors should submit their papers using the same two-column ACM paper format used for ICAIL. While papers can be prepared using LaTeX or Word, all papers should be converted to PDF prior to submission. Review will not be blind, so papers should contain author information.

Papers should be submitted to the following email address: organizers@legalAIIA.org, with the subject line “RESEARCH” or “APPLICATION” or “IDEATION”, based on the submitted paper type.

Questions may be directed to the co-organizers via the email addresses included below. At least one author of an accepted paper is expected to attend the workshop.

Proceedings:

All accepted workshop papers will be included in the main LegalAIIA 2021 Proceedings and published by CEUR in the CEUR Workshop Proceedings .

Publication opportunities:

Papers accepted for presentation will be available online prior to the workshop. Papers will also be published on the CEUR workshop website and indexed by the DBLP Computer Science database.
