The chair of software engineering for business information systems and the professorship for Legal Tech at the Technical University of Munich are organizing an interdisciplinary summer school on Legal Tech for PhD students and early career postdocs.

 

Mission

The mission of the 1st Munich LegalTech Summer School is to bring together excellent junior researchers with computer science and legal background to foster an interdisciplinary exchange. With talks from world-class experts, collaborative practical lab sessions, and discussion sessions, we want to educate the next generation of LegalTech researchers. Thereby, we want to examine the different sub areas of the research, from a legal, as well as from a computer science point of view, with talks including the topics:

  • Natural Legal Language Processing
  • Court Case Outcome Prediction
  • Legal Data Science
  • Legal Reasoning
  • Argument Mining
  • Ethics and Fairness

The focus of the summer school will be on empirical research. Therefore, an important part will be hands-on lab sessions where participants are encouraged to apply their newly acquired knowledge on real datasets and problems within interdisciplinary teams.

 

Participation and Safety

We will take all possible measures to enable safe on-site participation in Munich according to local health and safety regulations. If on-site participation or travelling is not possible, or you feel unsafe to do so, you will be able to participate remotely. For planning reasons, please indicate in your application whether you would want to participate on-site if possible or prefer remote participation. This is merely a first indication and not binding.

The number of participants is limited to 30 in order to provide an interactive learning atmosphere.
