Join us for the AI4A2J workshop to explore how new AI tools can help close the global access to justice gap. Billions face unmet legal needs like domestic violence support, eviction prevention, and navigating government services. This is the third edition of this workshop, building on the excitement and interest from the previous editions in Brno and Maastricht.

 

We invite legal technologists, researchers, and practitioners to share insights on AI tool design and evaluation, ethical and policy considerations, interventions in legal aid, frameworks for accountability, and ideas for future research.

 

Workshop Committee:

• Hannes Westermann, Maastricht University Faculty of Law
• Jaromir Savelka, Carnegie Mellon University
• Marc Lauritsen, Capstone Practice Systems
• Margaret Hagan, Stanford Law School
• Quinten Steenhuis, Suffolk University Law School

Submission Types:

• Short papers (5-10 pages)
• Demos and interactive exercises

Important Dates:

• Submission Deadline: May 4, 2025
• Acceptance Notification: May 18, 2025

Submit your contributions by May 4! And hope to see you in Chicago.

Dear All

I will try and submit something to your workshop. Any presentation may need to be online

I don't know if you are aware of the Judicial Support Systems workshop in Chicago, in conjunction with ICAIL2001, which was held in 2001.  Karl and I organised the workshop with Ron Staudt at Kent Law School, because we felt lawyers would not go to St. Louis.

The guest speaker at the conference was an Illinois State Senator who had previously been at the University of Chicago Law School.  I did not have the funds to support myself and 5 students to listen to whom I thought was a minor politician!

Can I suggest that in some way we honour Karl Branting (probably the first ICAIL he has not attended in 35 years).  And possibly invite Ron Staudt to give a guest lecture.

Be well

John

Yes, we would love to honor Karl Branting at this workshop. We did at the JURIX workshop in December as well.

All of ICAIL including the workshops will be in a hybrid format, so an online presentation is totally acceptable. We look forward to your submission!

Thanks Marc

You are right about Barack, and I was wrong.

ICAIL certainly needs a new award in his name to honor those leveraging AI to expand access to justice. How can we do this?

Be well

John

Thanks, John. For those who may not know, the state senator he mentions was an obscure guy named Barack. He was supposed to also be the dinner speaker in St. Louis, but cancelled at the last minute.

Ron joined us for part of last year's SubTech. Shortly after seeing him I got word that Karl had died.Perhaps ICAIL needs a new award in his name to honor those leveraging AI to expand access to justice.
