Abstract
In this paper an architecture is proposed for the user interface of legal text databases. Traditional Boolean query interfaces require users to know how information is stored and how the retrieval mechanism works. I will propose an architecture for the interface of legal databases, which shields lawyers from these technical matters and allows them to address the legal databases in their own legal terms. The proposed interface is based on a model of legal tasks. This task model is used by the information retrieval system to determine the information need, to retrieve relevant documents and to give methodical guidance for the legal task itself. To account for the design of the task model, a substantial part of this paper is devoted to the analysis and representation of legal tasks.
