Computers and Law Research Group

Description

Legal systems worldwide are undergoing transformative changes due to new technologies and alternative business models. Utilising innovative technologies can reduce costs, enhance the efficiency of legal services, and improve access to justice for citizens.

The increasing integration of AI, machine learning, and digital technology into modern life gives rise to legally significant events that may challenge the existing legal framework. As a result, both legal professionals and computer scientists need to grasp the digital context and understand the potential legal implications of design choices.

The University encompasses various research streams addressing these challenges and exploring the optimal approaches to tackle them. The Law Faculty, in particular, focuses on the interdisciplinary field of Law and Computer Science, which offers exciting research opportunities. The Faculty houses the Computers and Law Research group, which is engaged in several significant grant-funded projects. It also facilitates vibrant and engaging discussion groups for sharing and discussing research findings.

Furthermore, in collaboration with the Faculty of Computer Science, the University offers a postgraduate course in Law and Computer Science. This course welcomes law students pursuing the BCL, MJur, and MLF degrees, as well as Computer Science students in their fourth year or MSc program.
