Computational Jurisprudence: An emerging interdisciplinary branch

Abstract:

The application of state-of-the-art artificial intelligence to the law has led to a promising area of interdisciplinary research: computational jurisprudence. By investigating legal relationships through simulation and modeling with transforming the legal information analysis to real-time online intelligent system, computational jurisprudence is not simply to simulate the methods of natural science, but a deep integration of computational thinking and legal thought. With distributed real-time computing, computational jurisprudence aims to reveal the intrinsic essence behind legal system to improve the judicial efficiency, promote legislative feasibility and also reduce the conflicts in legal system.
