Legal and Regulatory Tech

About

The Legal and Regulatory Tech group at University of Novi Sad is focused on research and development of legal and regulatory technology in general and application of artificial intelligence methods in law in particular. However, we are also interested in complementary fields such as e-government, digital forensics and e-discovery and information technology law and we promote open source software, open standards, open data and open access to legal information.

Our goal is to bring together information technology and law teachers and researchers from University of Novi Sad and to create an open and multidisciplinary environment for the implementation of courses, research and development projects and consulting services in the related fields.

Group members have academic and professional experience with legal and regulatory technology (e.g. formal representation of legal knowledge and reasoning, text mining and NLP, data mining, legal document and business process management, legal information retrieval and browsing, and legal document drafting), e-government (e.g. design and implementation of information systems in legislative, judicial and executive institutions at national, regional and local levels), information security (e.g. implementation of information security management standards), digital forensics (hired by courts of law in criminal and civil proceedings and by private companies), and open source software, open data and open access advocacy (e.g. open source software in education, open government data, open access to research information).
