Legal Tech, AI, and Rules-as-Code

Utbildningsfakta

Kod: JPA005

The course treats the broad concept of Legal Tech which is an umbrella term for technology, especially software, used to deliver legal services and also for systems that support the work of legal practitioners. Their work is facilitated by powerful text databases with laws, preparatory documents, common practice, and doctrine. At the same time, there is an ongoing trend of businesses and authorities trying to streamline their processes, which may lead to automated decision-making without human judgement. The course has a special focus on applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in legal work processes, and on Rules-as-Code transformers in which rules are written in machine-readable form so that the reinterpretation to programming code for computers will not entail reinterpretation of the intentions behind the rules. In relation to AI, different forms of machine learning (ML) are described. Guest lecturers from different Swedish authorities contribute examples and organise workshops as part of the course. Instruction is in the form of lectures, discussion seminars, workshops, laboratory sessions on AI use and RaC use, and presentation seminars.
