Mireille Hildebrandt did a keynote at the European Forum of Official Gazettes The Hague 2019, on ‘Access to Legal Information. Opening Pandora’s box’, 21 June 2019, see slides here.
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.
... »Today we have published the final version of the Research Study on Computational Law, written by COHUBICOL postdoctoral researchers Pauline McBride and Laurence Diver.
... »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.
... »Warm congratulations to Masha Medevedeva and Pauline McBride (past and current postdoctoral researchers with COHUBICOL, respectively) on receiving the Best Presentation Award for the presentation of their paper ‘Legal Judgment Prediction: If You Are Going to Do It, Do It Right’ at NLLP Workshop 2023
