As information is both the source and the product of all legal
work, legal practitioners are crucially dependent on good access to
legal information. The legal databases that are currently available
to store and retrieve statutes, judicial decisions, and legal
literature, however, often pose problems to the users with the
effect that they cannot find the information they need. To a large
extent, these problems can be attributed to the limitations of the
traditional Boolean query mechanism used in text databases which is
difficult for users to operate. As a possible solution for these
problems, in this book an architecture is proposed for an
intelligent interface to legal databases. An intelligent interface
uses knowledge of the task domain of legal practitioners to operate
as an intelligent intermediary between the user and the database.
This work addresses the most pressing issues that need to be
resolved to allow for the development of advanced user-friendly
legal databases. It involves a study into the nature of legal
information-handling and the representation of legal knowledge. In
addition to the theoretical study, it is demonstrated, with the
development of a prototype, how the architecture can be used for
the development of practical legal information retrieval systems.
The results of these studies are interpreted to discuss a number of
possible applications for the intelligent interface architecture,
including the publication of government information and the
organisation of legal information on the Internet.
