Bar Exam Competition JURISIN invites participation in a legal information extraction and entailment competition. Previous conferences/workshops have not conducted such a shared task on a large legal data collection, so we hope that the 2015 workshop will help establish a major experimental effort in the legal information extraction/retrieval field. The motivation for the competition is to help create a research community of practice for the capture and use of legal information. Please visit the homepage of the bar exam competition: "http://webdocs.cs.ualberta.ca/~miyoung2/COLIEE2015/"
