Abstract
Application of automated processing (ADP) became self evident in recent times in nearly all technical and scientific disciplines. In this field, too, jurisprudence is the “tail light” in development – perhaps apart from some pure theoretical subjects. It has always been difficult for the legal procedure to employ technical innovations and regulate their legal consequences in a convenient and suitable way. No wonder that too often development passed the lawyers by and those normally came too late to have directing influence. Opposite to this in a surprisingly short time-lag (for lawyers) the (social-)legal problematic connected with the installation of ADP was recognized at least at the start. Early – in the middle of the sixties – out of the scattered single efforts a new field of science was built up in outlines: legal informatics. It can be defined as the discipline that contains the mutual context of ADP and law, i. e., all questions of application of ADP in jurisdiction and administration (automation of law): on the other hand new legal problems, however, arose with the application of ADP (law of automation).
