Topics & Focus Areas
Who Should Attend
- ✓AI and law researchers
- ✓Legal NLP engineers
- ✓Legal technology leaders
- ✓Legal knowledge engineers
- ✓Compliance and RegTech architects
- ✓Law-firm innovation teams
Why Attend
Legal-tech buyers are being sold LLM tools on accuracy claims that are hard to verify. JURIX is where researchers publish how well argument mining, legal retrieval, compliance checking and LLM-based drafting actually perform, and where the failure modes are discussed openly. A legal-ops or law-firm innovation leader leaves with evidence to test vendor claims against, contacts among the academics building legal NLP, and a view of explainability and fairness requirements before regulators impose them.
Event Features
- ✓Workshops and tutorials day (8 December)
- ✓Doctoral Consortium (8 December)
- ✓Research track: Logics and Normative Systems (formal legal reasoning, knowledge representation, compliance checking)
- ✓Research track: Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning (argument mining, document classification, LLM deployment)
- ✓Research track: Cognitive and Socio-Technical Systems (explainable AI, fairness in legal applications, e-justice)
- ✓Long, short and poster paper presentations
What Makes This Unique
- ★Running since 1988 — the established European research venue for AI and law, peer-reviewed rather than vendor-driven
- ★Covers both symbolic legal reasoning and LLM-based legal NLP, so it is where claims about legal AI accuracy are actually tested
- ★Gold open-access proceedings (IOS Press, FAIA series), so the accepted work is freely readable afterwards
- ★Small, research-focused format with a doctoral consortium — closer to the people building the methods than a trade show
