JURIX 2016 - 29th International Conference on Legal Knowledge and
Information Systems: Call for Workshop and Tutorial Proposals
--------------------------------------

For almost 30 years, the JURIX conference has provided an international
forum for research on the intersection of Law, Artificial Intelligence and
Information Systems, under the auspices of the JURIX Foundation
<http://www.jurix.nl/> for Legal Knowledge Systems.

JURIX 2016 <http://jurix2016.unice.fr/> will be held at the University of
Nice Sophia Antipolis (France) on 14, 15 and 16 December 2016.

We invite submissions of proposals for workshops & tutorials.

As the conference approaches, more information will be published on
the conference
website <http://jurix2016.unice.fr/>.

Besides the standard conference track and the Doctoral Consortium, JURIX
2016 will host a number of workshops and tutorials related to the theme of
the conference. Workshops provide an informal setting where participants
have the opportunity to discuss specific topics in an atmosphere that
fosters the active exchange of ideas. Tutorials enable attendees to
familiarize themselves with advances in AI and Law related subjects, both
theoretical and technological.

JURIX 2016 welcomes workshops and tutorials that address topics that
satisfy the following criteria:
* the topic falls in the general scope of JURIX 2016,
* there is a clear focus on a specific technology, problem or application,
and
* there is a sufficiently large community interested in the topic.

Note that in the case of multiple workshop/tutorial submissions on the same
topic, you may be asked to merge your proposal with that of others.
