Funded Activity Summary
Knowledge Discovery in Discretionary Legal Domains. The development of legal decision support systems in discretionary domains will lead to: (1) Consistency; (2) Transparency; (3) Efficiency; and (4) Enhanced support for dispute resolution. The researchers on this project have been using the World Wide Web to disseminate legal knowledge. With the collaboration of Victoria Legal Aid and JUSTSYS, we propose to use knowledge discovery from databases and argumentation techniques to model how discretionary legal decision-makers operate. A significant application of the research will be the construction of a prototype for assisting criminal law defense lawyers to make arguments with regard to their client's sentences.Funded Activity Details
