Abstract
The access to justice crisis is one that cannot be effectively solved without the automation of legal services. The automation of legal services cannot be efficiently done without efficiently automating legal reasoning. Legal case-based reasoning (CBR) provides a method of obtaining explainable and strong predictions for legal issues that lawyers would typically predict on the basis of analogy to prior decided cases. Automating explainable predictions with regard to these sorts of legal issues is difficult without resort to CBR. Wider adoption of CBR in the legal realm therefore has the potential to increase the scope of legal services that can be automated. Despite this potential, as of early 2018 there were no open-source or commercially-available tools for building legal case-based reasoning systems. This paper describes an open-source tool named docassemble-openlcbr[5] designed for ease of use by legal professionals in implementing CBR in the development of automated legal services.
