Diver and Hildebrandt invited to teach course on computational ‘law’ at Tel Aviv University

Diver and Hildebrandt are currently teaching an intensive course at the Buchmann Faculty of Law at Tel Aviv University. The 12-lecture course is titled ‘Critical Reflections on Computational Law’, and covers a wide range of practical and theoretical aspects of computational ‘law’ and legal tech. It aims to sensitise students to the interactions between legal philosophy and the philosophy of technology, while maintaining a strong connection to real-world legal technologies and positive law (e.g. Article 22 GDPR and the EU’s proposed AI Act). The course mirrors aspects of the COHUBICOL conceptual approach, and builds on various literature from the project, including Hildebrandt’s book Law for Computer Scientists and Other Folk (Oxford, 2020) and Diver’s book Digisprudence: Code as Law Rebooted (Edinburgh, 2022), both open access.

Post-Project Output: The Special Issue on ‘THE FUTURE OF COMPUTATIONAL LAW’

 28 May 2024 ▪

For the second CRCL Conference (CRCL23) in Brussels we invited a small number of key authors in the domain of computational ‘law’ to present their position on the future of code- and data-driven legal technologies. Their salient papers provide a research agenda for further development and integration of these technologies, including keen attention to the education and training of lawyers and computer scientists, the impact on access to justice, Rule of Law checks and balances, the need for targeted instead of general ‘solutions’ and an analysis of what the integration of AI in legal practice can and cannot achieve. The papers, by thought leaders across the spectrum of both law and computer science, have now been published in the Journal of Cross-Disciplinary Research in Computational Law, in this special issue.

Hildebrandt publishes chapter on ‘Grounding Computational Law’ in legal education and professional legal training

 18 Dec 2023 ▪

COHUBICOL’ s Mireille Hildebrandt has contributed a chapter in the recently published Research Handbook on Law and Technology (Edward Elgar Publishing, 2023). The chapter, entitled ‘Grounding computational ‘law’ in legal education and professional legal training’, discusses how we can devise learning objectives and teaching approaches that contribute to critical engagement with computational legal technologies and calls for effective scrutiny of such technology in legal research and practice.
