Representation of legal rules and reasoning over them is a critical
application area since laws and regulations are used in almost all human
activities. Furthermore, corpora pertaining to laws and regulations are
typically complex and enormous in size, and experts are usually needed in
order to apply legal reasoning in everyday life. Thus, automating reasoning
over legal documents by means of applying logic programming can speed up a
process that is laborious and time consuming. The aim of the workshop is to
give the opportunity to legal experts and computer scientists to present
recent research results and discuss related ideas on this particularly
active area of research.



*Topics of interest include but are not limited to:*

* Legal reasoning (searching, compliance checking, decision support)

* Large-scale normative reasoning

* Computational methods for legal reasoning

* Formal analysis of normative concepts and normative systems

* Expressive vs. lightweight representations of legal knowledge

* Deontic Logic and Law

* Non-Monotonic Reasoning and Law

* Epistemic Logics and Law

* Applications of Logic Programming in the legal domain



*Submission*

Submissions should be 7-14 pages in PDF format, including abstract, figures
and references, and according to the CEUR-WS template (single column). The
reviewing will be single-blind. All submissions will be made electronically
through the EasyChair conference system at:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lplr2023.

At least one of the authors will be required to register and attend the
ICLP conference to present the paper in order for it to be included in the
workshop proceedings.



*Important dates*

* Submission: May 31, 2023

* Notification: June 12, 2023
