Abstract

The Japanese Fifth Generation Computer Systems (FGCS) Project identified legal reasoning as one of the benchmark applications designed to demonstrate its newly developed technology. This paper reviews the FGCS work on legal reasoning, with the aim of assessing (1) its contribution to the field of automated legal reasoning, and (2) its contribution to the wider aims of the FGCS project, which may be summarised as the development of new technologies intended to open up important new classes of applications. A secondary aim of the paper is to provide a summary of some of the main strands of research that have been carried out in the field of Artificial Intelligence and law in recent years.
