ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
Contribute to the upcoming special issue of the Artificial Intelligence and Law, Springer which is a SCOPUS indexed journal. This special issue aims to curate a set of high-quality papers that focus on the application and impact of LLMs in the legal domain, as well as the ethical issues that are potentially involved.
TOPICS
We invite submissions on the following tentative topics, but authors may submit proposals on other related topics of interest:-
- Design and evaluation of LLM-based systems/applications in legal data processing
- Comparative studies into proprietary vs. open-source LLMs, their strengths and liabilities
- Use of LLMs in traditional legal text processing tasks such as summarization,
question-answering, classification, judgment prediction, etc.
- Issues related to LLM-enabled decision making
- Ethical concerns and potential risks associated with the use of LLMs in the legal domain,
including bias, fairness, misinformation, hallucinations, safety and regulatory compliance
- Using LLMs for explanations or explainability in the application of LLMs
- Human-in-the-loop approaches in the design and application of LLMs in Law
- Use of LLMs in generating litigation-focused legal text such as briefs
- Use of LLMs in generating transactional legal text such as contracts
- Use of LLMs in Electronic Discovery and Technology-Assisted Review
- Linking LLMs to external sources of legal domain-specific knowledge
- Use of LLMs in multilingual legal data analysis
- LLMs for generating weak labels for various applications, or to generate simulated data
(silver-standard) to reduce annotation effort
- Adversarial robustness of LLMs, i.e., optimizing the robustness of LLM-based learning to
adversarial attacks based on prompt injections
