SAIL2023 will have a peer-reviewed track, the purpose of which is to solicit both matured and early-staged research work from both the Law and the AI communities, aiming to cover topics related, respectively, to the scope of AI for various domain-specific legal challenges (coming from the law practitioners and researchers working on law) and their AI-based solutions (coming from the AI community). We welcome submissions describing original work on computational challenges on legal data on (but not restricted to) the following topics:
Contributions solicited from Law researchers / practitioners
Scope of AI in the legal domain
Effective ways of representing legal documents
Analysis of the human cognitive reasoning involved in different legal tasks, e.g., precedent finding, argument construction, judgment, etc.
Position papers presenting new tasks in the legal domain where AI can be applied
Contributions solicited from AI researchers / practitioners
Applications of NLP to tasks on legal data, including, but not limited to:
Legal Citation Resolution / Link analysis
Case Outcome Analysis and Prediction
Models of Legal Reasoning
E-Discovery
Lexical and other Data Resources for the Legal Domain
Bias and Privacy
Rhetoric role labeling
Classification
Information Retrieval
Anomaly Detection
Clustering
Knowledge Base Population
Multimedia Search
Entity Recognition and Disambiguation
Training and Using Embeddings
Parsing
Dialogue and Discourse Analysis
Text Summarization and Generation
Relation and Event Extraction
Anaphora Resolution
Question Answering
Query Understanding
Combining Text with Structured Data
Explainability and Interpretability
Conversational assistance to information seeking
New tasks:
Position papers describing new legal tasks for Law-AI, new visions, challenges and changes to existing research practices
Structured overviews of a specific task with the goal of identifying new areas for research
Resources:
Creation of curated and/or annotated datasets that can be publicly released and used by the community to advance Law-AI
Demos:
Descriptions of systems which use AI technologies over legal data
Industrial Research:
Industrial applications
Papers describing research on proprietary data
Interdisciplinary position papers:
Legal or socio-legal analyses relating to the role AI can play in the legal field
Critical reflections on the legality and ethics of data collection and processing practices
The proceedings will be published as a part of the CEUR proceedings.

Submission
We invite papers of variable length reporting original (unpublished) research. Submissions must have at most 10 pages of single-column content plus unlimited pages for references, and must be formatted as per the CEUR proceedings guidelines: https://ceur-ws.org/HOWTOSUBMIT.html
Latex style files and MS Word templates (docx) can be found in this zip file: http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/CEURART.zip. The 1-column versions should be used. Appendices and acknowledgements, if any, will not count against the page limit.
Double-Blind reviewing
The review process will be double-blind. Submitted papers must not include author names and affiliations and they must be written in a way so that they do not violate the double-blind reviewing process. If the preliminary version of a paper was posted in arXiv, the authors should NOT mention it as their own paper in the submission. Papers that violate the double-blind review requirements will be desk rejected.
Ethics section
Papers working with sensitive data or on sensitive tasks should contain a separate “Ethics” section containing a broader impact statement or other discussion related to ethical issues. This section will not count against the maximum page limit.
Dual Submission and Preprint Policy
A paper that is accepted may be declared as non-archival (after acceptance), which will mean that it won’t be included in proceedings. This could be a useful option for papers that will be submitted elsewhere or have been accepted to be published elsewhere. Submissions that are declared to be archival will be expected to report original (unpublished) work, and should not be submitted elsewhere.
Presentation
At least one author of each accepted paper must register for SAIL2023 in offline / in-person mode by the author registration deadline (February 17, 2023), in order for the paper to be presented at the conference.
Presentation format for each paper and schedule will be announced between acceptance notification and the camera-ready deadline.
