6th Workshop on Legal Informatics and Legal Information Technology (LIT
2017)
in conjunction with
20th International Conference on Business Information Systems (BIS 2017)
Poznań, Poland
June 28 or 30, 2017
http://bis.kie.ue.poznan.pl/bis2017/workshops/lit-2017/

The Legal Informatics and Legal Information Technology (LIT)
Workshop is a gathering of people interested in broadly understood
Legal Informatics and its applications. As a continuation of previous
editions, every LIT invites people dealing with different domains
closely related to legal matter and Information Technology.
The 6th Legal Informatics and Legal Information Technology Workshop
is planned to be a multi-disciplinary, one-day workshop that will bring
together practitioners and researchers to investigate challenges and
opportunities in the emerging trends on the verge of law and IT. The
workshop will examine vital issues, including legal mining techniques,
Big Data applications, electronic contracting, Future Internet and law
as well as semantics & ontologies within legal domain, discussing new
researches and innovative applications in Law, Information Technology
together with legal application domains (tax, commercial, insurance
law, etc). The workshop is receptive to all papers dealing with any
topic in these interdisciplinary fields.
The event is organized under the auspices of the Central European
Institute of Legal Informatics (CEILI). CEILI is the international
institution appointed by Wiener Zentrum für Rechtsinformatik which aim
is to strengthen legal information in Central Europe through joint
teaching and research.
