JURIX 2025 call for papers - JURIX

JURIX 2025 – The 38th International Conference on Legal Knowledge and Information Systems 9-11th of December 2025, Turin https://jurix2025.di.unito.it/ (Long, short, poster) paper submission: September 4, 2025 Abstract submission (recommended): August 28, 2025 Topics The JURIX conference has provided an international forum for research on the intersection of Artificial Intelligence and Information Systems with Law for decades, under the auspices of the JURIX Foundation for Legal Knowledge Systems. The purpose of the JURIX conference series is to foster scientific exchange between researchers, practitioners, students, dedicated to exploring recent advancements, challenges, and opportunities of technologies applied to legal and para-legal activities. We invite submissions of original papers on legal information, legal knowledge systems, artificial intelligence and law, computational and socio-technical approaches to law and other normative systems, covering foundations, methods, tools, systems, interfaces, and applications. Papers should demonstrate added value, novelty of contribution and/or analysis, significance of the work, (formal) validity and/or proper evaluation. Topics include, but are not limited to: I – Logics and Normative Systems Computational theories of law Computational representations of legal rules and domain-specific languages (DSLs) for law Formal logics and computational models of legal reasoning and decision-making (e.g., deontic logic, formal argumentation, statutory, rule-based, case- based, evidential reasoning), including relevant concepts such as qualification, causation, responsibility Formal models of norms and norm-governed systems Knowledge representation, knowledge engineering, and ontologies in the legal domain Semantic web, open and linked data, mark-up languages for the legal domain Normative reasoning by autonomous agents; multi-agent systems: norm operationalization, norm emergence Computational methods for agent-based modelling for policy-making and norm-making Computational methods for negotiation, contract formation, dispute resolution Computational methods for preference aggregation and voting Computational methods for compliance-checking, authorization, auditing, and regulation Computational methods for AI and Data Governance II – Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning Argument mining on legal texts Machine learning methods and models for legal document classification, information retrieval, automatic summarization of legal text Machine learning methods and models in support to regulatory and contract drafting Natural language processing for legal text analysis, including law-specific standard NLP tasks (Named Entity Recognition, Semantic Role Labelling, Translation, etc.) Information extraction, text understanding (e.g. entailment) from legal data and texts Question-answering systems, chatbots, and dialog systems in the legal domain Network analysis applied to legal documents (statutory law, case law, jurisprudence) and legal data Knowledge discovery, Causal discovery, and Process mining in the legal domain Recommender systems in the legal domain Datasets and other resources that have a high potential to support significant future research in AI & Law Deployment of Large Language Models and conversational agents III – Cognitive and Socio-Technical Systems Cognitive computing and AI-enabled information systems for legal knowledge management (legal research and case management), legal data visualization, and decision support Hybrid architectures (symbolic and sub-symbolic) in legal applications Human-computer interaction in legal applications Explainable AI for legal applications Fairness and bias mitigation in AI systems for legal practices Technical regulation of AI, data-sharing, information processing, and computing systems AI-enabled information systems improving access to justice and equal opportunities e-government, e-democracy, and e-justice AI applications in legal education and training Intelligent legal tutoring systems, intelligent support systems for forensics Blockchain and DLT for Law and Governance Submission and Publication The deadline for paper submission is September 4, 2025 (AoE). Abstract submission (August 28, 2025) is recommended. All submissions should be formatted using the styles and guidelines in the IOS Press Instructions for Authors (https://www.iospress.com/book-article-instructions) and prepared for single-blind peer review. There are three categories of papers: long, short, and poster. Please indicate a desired category when you submit your paper. In exceptional cases, a long paper may be considered for acceptance as a short paper or a poster. Long papers: reports of well-developed and original research. An accepted long paper scores well in terms of relevance, originality, technical quality, significance, literature review, presentation, reviewer’s confidence, and overall evaluation. These should not exceed 10 pages (excluding references). Short papers: descriptions of preliminary results or an innovative idea. These papers should not exceed 5 pages (excluding references). Posters papers: (short) descriptions of a system or research projects in very early stage. These papers should not exceed 2 pages (excluding references). Authors of poster papers should be willing to prepare and present a poster at the conference. All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The papers are required to thoroughly reference relevant AI&Law literature, especially contributions from JURIX, ICAIL, and the Artificial Intelligence and Law journal as well as from other relevant venues. The conference proceedings will be published by IOS Press in their series Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence and Applications (FAIA) as gold open access. The submission should happen through Easychair: https://easychair.org/conferences?conf=jurix2025 Important Dates Abstract submission deadline: August 28, 2025 (recommended) Paper submission deadline: September 4, 2025 Notification of acceptance: October 8, 2025 Camera-ready deadline: October 15, 2025 Workshops, Tutorials, and Doctoral Consortium: December 9, 2025 Main Conference: December 10-11, 2025 Organization and Contacts Program Chair: Réka Markovich – University of Luxembourg, Luxembourg Organizing Chairs: Luigi Di Caro, Amon Rapp, Claudio Schifanella – University of Turin, Italy For questions, please contact the Program Chair: reka.markovich@uni.lu
