Abstract

«Good Old Fashioned AI and Law» typically involved a partnership between legal expertise and computer knowledge. Nowadays, however, there is a new fashion in AI. Algorithms that learn from large datasets have moved to the centre stage in many domains. In this paper I set out a number of features of the legal domain which mean that we should use the new AI with caution. For systems which support legal decision making and predict case outcomes, there is not yet a real alternative to Good Old Fashioned AI and Law. Machines may be able to teach themselves chess, but not yet law.
