Techniques for Automated Drafting of Judicial Documents
نویسنده
چکیده
Document drafting is an essential component of judicial problem solving. This paper distinguishes several classes of judicial documents based on (1) the stage of the judicial process in which they are created, (2) the complexity of the documents, and (3) the party who drafts the documents: a judge, judicial support personnel, or a litigant. Three approaches to automated document drafting are identified and the applicability of these approaches to each class of judicial document is described. The paper concludes with a description of several implemented prototype systems for drafting judicial documents at various stages of the judicial process.

متن کاملA Software Tool for Legal Drafting
Although many attempts at automated aids for legal drafting have been made, they were based on the construction of a new tool, completely from scratch. This is at least curious, considering that a strong parallelism can be established between a normative document and a software specification: both describe what an entity should or should not do, can or cannot do. In this article we compare norm...
