Legal Expert Systems

A Practitioner's Perspective

Brendan Scott*


Abstract

The purpose of this article is to explain what role a legal practitioner sees for expert systems in a legal environment, having regard to "pragmatic" considerations. That is, what things are considered important given the perspective of day to day practice in a legal office? What things would a Legal Expert System (LES) have to consider in order to be of use to a lawyer advising a client?
