We solicit unpublished papers on theories, technologies and applications on juris-informatics.

Relevant topics include, but are not limited to, the following: * Legal reasoning * Argumentation/Argumentation agent * Legal term ontology * Formal legal knowledge-base/Intelligent management of legal knowledge-base * Translation of legal documents * Computer-aided law education * Use of Informatics and AI in law * Legal issues on ubiquitous computing/multi-agent system/the Internet * Social implications of use of informatics and AI in law

We welcome and encourage the submission of high quality, original papers, which are not simultaneously submitted for publication elsewhere except as a submission to JURIX 2012 (The 25th International Conference on Legal Knowledge and Information Systems). The double submission policy with JURIX 2012 is as follows: 1. Papers being submitted both to JURISIN2012 and JURIX2012 must note this on the title page. 2. A paper to be presented at JURISIN2012 must be withdrawn from JURIX2012 and vice versa according to the choice by the authors. 3. If the authors do not follow this double submission policy, the paper by the authors will not be included in the proceedings of JURISIN 2012.

Papers should be written in English, formatted according to the Springer Verlag LNCS style in a pdf form, which can be obtained from http://www.springeronline.com, and not exceed 14 pages including figures, references, etc.
