{"title":"EU Judicial Procedures and Case Law Databases: What's Going on and What May Lay Ahead?","authors":"E. A. Onţanu, M. Velicogna","doi":"10.3233/FAIA190026","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3233/FAIA190026","url":null,"abstract":"The raise of computational power, the boost of electronic data storage \u0000capabilities, and the growing ubiquitousness of the Internet facilitate the collection \u0000of legal information and increases its availability for stakeholders. In this context, \u0000EU institutions and key stakeholders are seeking to support initiatives that provide \u0000access to legislation and case law. This is considered paramount for economic activities, facilitating access to justice, and upholding the rule of law. This Chapter investigates existing electronic databases created to disseminate case law information \u0000on the application of EU judicial procedures and explores these databases ability \u0000to improve the application of European procedural instruments, forwarding their \u0000use and the creation of a common legal understanding. The analysis addresses also \u0000the possibilities opened by e-CODEX to integrated cross-national legal database \u0000supported by technology developments. The e-CODEX handled cross-border judicial procedures can lead to digital by default judgments in European uniform \u0000procedures. These procedures are based on electronic forms supporting structured \u0000data exchange. A database relying on these data may be designed to include not \u0000only the judgment data, but also many other data generated during the procedure, \u0000which could be used to support ‘smarter’ research for practitioners and interested \u0000parties. This can significantly reduce subsequent expert interventions in classifying \u0000or anonymizing case law data. Additional data generated by the procedures, but not \u0000included in the decisions could also enrich the database. Furthermore, as e-CODEX \u0000supports semantic interoperability, much of the structured data is expected to be \u0000multilingual by default.","PeriodicalId":402120,"journal":{"name":"Law via the Internet","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123956128","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Legal Information Institutes (LIIs) have played a significant role in the provision of legal information via the Web. The concept of ‘free access to law’ is not static, and its principles now require a LII response to the renewed prominence of AI, possibly to include improving and expanding free access to legal advice. This overview of one approach, from justification to implementation, considers the potential for AI-aided free legal advice, its likely providers, and its importance to legal professionalism. The constraints that ‘free’ imposes lead to the potential roles LIIs may realistically play, and suggested guidelines for development of sustainable systems by free access providers. The AI-related services and tools that the Australasian Legal Information Institute (AustLII) is providing (the ‘DataLex’ platform) are outlined. Finally, ethical (or governance) issues LIIs need to address are discussed.","PeriodicalId":402120,"journal":{"name":"Law via the Internet","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129714374","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
