Introduction: Legal Informatics and the Conceptions of the Law

  • Chapter
Book cover Law and the Semantic Web

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 3369))

Abstract

This article shows how the first generalized developments of legal informatics in the Civil Law systems were coherent with the dominant conception of the Law during the 70s and 80s. Today, that conception of the Law is in crisis, and it is possible to talk about a change in the mentality of jurists as well. Both changes generate new spaces and further opportunities for legal informatics and for legal knowledge management.
