COHUBICOL team demoed our forthcoming Typology of Legal Technologies at Radboud (27 Sept 2022)

Last week the team demoed COHUBICOL’s forthcoming Typology of Legal Technologies at the iHub, a cross-disciplinary research group at Radboud University in Nijmegen (see the event page here). Click here to see the presentation’s slides.

Laurence demoing the Typology at Radboud University's iHub

The Typology is a curated set of typical legal technologies (applications, scientific papers, datasets), assessed by the COHUBICOL team based on claims made by their developers and/or providers, and on the substantiation of those claims, with an eye to the kind of legal impact their deployment may have.

A thoughtful audience from diverse backgrounds (law, computer science, and social science) engaged enthusiastically with the Typology and provided feedback on the tool, its purpose and content. We have already integrated some of these suggestions in the Typology in anticipation of its launch.

The Typology will be presented at our CRCL22 conference on 3-4 November 2022, after which it will be published at publications.cohubicol.com.

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.
