Procedures are ideal for AI • Strong determination • Administrative procedures (e-Government) • Judicial procedures • User friendly
Improving Legislation • Consistency and quality of legal texts • Increased accuracy (reduced ambiguity) • More precise and more dull • Editors for legislative drafting • Comparability and harmonization in the EU
Improving Search • Existing search engines are “dumb” • They use statistics and other “tricks” • First REAL legal search engine • Unimagined new possibilities
Complete Law in Your Pocket • On DVD, USBs and hand-held devices • Legal books, legislation, cases, articles • When does it become legal KNOWLEDGE? • Meta data
Digitalisation of legal files • Globalisation of Legal Services • Three steps • “Pictures” • Data warehouses • AI modules • Multimedia
Modernisation of Courts • Back office based on the legislation in force • Automatic allocation • Flow chart of court proceedings • Alerting in case of changed legislation • Drafting of court decisions
