Connection details will be shared with registered workshop participants. Information on workshop registration, as well as registration for the main conference, can be found on the ICAIL 2026 website.
The workshop programme will consist of a combination of paper sessions and hands-on sessions. Paper sessionswill feature a series of 15-minute presentations (10 minutes for presentation followed by 5 minutes for questions), while the hands-on sessions will provide interactive demonstrations of AI-based tools for digital investigations and case analysis. The programme is designed to encourage practical engagement as well as discussion of current research and applications in legal and forensic AI.
