LIT 2017 - 6th Workshop on Legal Informatics and Legal Information Technology (LIT 2017)

The Legal Informatics and Legal Information Technology (LIT) Workshop is a gathering of people interested in broadly understood Legal Informatics and its applications. The previous LIT was held in 2013 in Poznań, Poland as part of the 16th International Conference on Business Information Systems. As a continuation of previous editions, every LIT invites people dealing with different domains closely related to legal matter and Information Technology.
The 6th Legal Informatics and Legal Information Technology Workshop is planned to be a multi-disciplinary, one-day workshop that will bring together practitioners and researchers to investigate challenges and opportunities in the emerging trends on the verge of law and IT. The workshop will examine vital issues, including law-related business processes, legal ontologies, description frameworks, discussing new researches and innovative applications in Law, Information Technology as well as legal application domains (tax, commercial, insurance law, etc). The workshop is receptive to all papers dealing with any topic in these interdisciplinary domains.
