Handbook of Legal AI

<p>The <em>Handbook of Legal Artificial Intelligence</em> presents a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art and trends in the research field of legal AI. The handbook provides a solid introduction to the essentials of the field for newcomers and a selection of advanced issues as a base for future research directions.</p><p><br></p><p>As the law gets more complex conflicting and ever-changing more advanced methods most of them come from the Artificial Intelligence (AI) field are required for analyzing representing and reasoning on legal knowledge. The discipline that tackles these challenges is now known as Legal Artificial Intelligence.
