ASSIGNMENT: To conduct an analysis of the types of legal informatics that exist: documentary,
management, decision-making emphasizing the following points.
Definition and importance
Legal Informatics is a science that studies the correct use of electronic devices,
like the computer, in law; that is to say, the assistance that this use provides for development and application
of the law.

It is important to note that computer law constitutes the set of rules, applications,
processes, legal relationships that arise as a result of the application and development of the
computer science. That is to say, that computer science in general from this point of view is a regulated object by
the law.

Computer law, like other branches of law, has court rulings.


and reasoning of legal theorists. The sources of computer law affect the branches
traditional law: In public law - International flow of computerized data - Freedom
computer science (defense against potential attacks) -Cybercrimes (tend to create a scope
characteristic of Criminal Law

Definitions and classifications of legal informatics


Julio Téllez:

Legal Informatics. This interdisciplinary technique aims to study and investigate


the knowledge applicable to the retrieval of legal information, as well as the preparation and
utilization of instruments for the analysis and processing of legal information, necessary for
achieve that recovery.

Emilio Suñe: "The application of electronic computers aimed at reducing problems


legal.

Alain Chovraqui: It is the science and techniques of logical and automatic processing of information.
legal.

Héctor Fix Freiro: It is the set of studies and instruments derived from the application of the
computer science to law, or more precisely to the processes of creation, application and knowledge of
Law.

CLASSIFICATION
Considering it as a way of analyzing or organizing legal information:

1.- Legal Document Informatics.


2.- Legal Informatics for control and/or management and/or administration.

3.- Legal Informatics for decision support and/or net additional.


Legal Document Technology:

From this branch arises the analysis of the information contained in legal documents for the
formation of Documentary Databases.

As a standard of legal informatics, it consists of the application of computer techniques to the


legal documentation on aspects regarding the analysis, archiving, and retrieval of information
contained in legislation, case law, doctrine or any other document with content
relevant legal.
In addition to other areas, it includes the application of documentary techniques, understood as
documentation as the act of gathering data on a given topic and processing it for presentation
to its definition.

It also includes documentary analysis, which can be defined as a set of


executions carried out to represent the content of a document, in a way different from the original,
in order to facilitate consultation or search at a later stage after the storage that is
accumulation of original or reproduced documents, introduced into the documentary memory of
ways that allow recovery operations and for the location of the informational content.

Relevant aspects for the development of documentary legal informatics

1.- The technical-legal application:

It conforms to the special methodology for analyzing information units according to the system.
previously adopted; that is to say, we are talking about treatment and recovery systems of the
information and commonly applied systems include the following:

a) Indexing: It consists of creating a rigid list of descriptors through qualification.


from the information contained in a source document, through the descriptor or descriptors that are
considered appropriate, information is identified by the designation of one or more
key words or key phrases (descriptors), taken from a previously compiled list of
according to the type of information in question.

b) Full text: consists of the storage of the complete text in the computer with
the purpose of recovering the information contained in it by any of the subjects it refers to.
c) Abstract: it is the act whose information obtained in a source record is organized in a logical manner.
through the use of distance restrictors in order to achieve their recovery, as well as their
synthetic presentation.

2.- The formation of Databases:

Whose starting point can be systematized monthly files, whether sectorized and
integrals.

3.- The use of languages (vocabularies) or information retrieval mechanisms with


support of linguistic instruments:
This branch of legal informatics is made up of databases of legal information.

To talk about legal informatics, it is necessary to identify the information, which in this case would be
the legal aspects relevant to the specific case; having this, it is crucial to address it through
from the structuring with the application of logic, or the argumentation to later through
the appropriate linguistic tools, incorporate it into the computer. It will not be legal informatics
Documenting the simple incorporation of legal texts into a computer.

Legal Management Computer Science

This branch of legal informatics is aimed at organizing and controlling legal information.
documents, files, books, etc., either through the application of management programs
that allow the creation of identifiers and descriptors for the classification of that information.

This type of computing is known as management and/or control; it is used in courts,


legal studies, notaries, among others, is mainly used to track processes and
processes with the aim of keeping information up to date and maintaining good control of it.

Classification:

a) Registral: this deals with all types of registrations, whether public or private. It is about facilitating
to the different users facilitating data in all official records, with speed and ease of
access.

e.g. Civil Registry Office: judicial power page.

b) Operational: it aims to facilitate the operation and functioning of the offices related to the
law, both at the public and private level, which will allow the machine to carry out all the
repetitive performance, the control of matters.

c) Decisional: it is the use of predefined models for the proper solution of specific cases.
and concrete.
Example. Rejection of an untimely procedural resource.

Legal Informatics for decision support.


This branch is characterized by being made up of cessations of legal knowledge.

It encompasses a wide variety of efforts and projects that aim to obtain from the applications of the
computer science in law, results that go beyond information retrieval, with the
the claim that the machine can solve legal problems by itself, or at least assist in doing so
and constitutes the advance of legal technique.

Classification:

1.- Legal Expert Systems: they are the structuring of specialized knowledge that, coupled
to the reference mechanism, draws conclusions based on the information provided to it in the form
of question or answer.

These expert systems can perform logical operations on the elements that make them up,
in addition to reasoning, by virtue of having a structured database. It is about
definitive systems capable of taking two or more pieces of information for the knowledge base, and
to produce from them a logical conclusion, the result of which is not anticipated by the expert, but is
adopted by the system itself (artificial intelligence).
Artificial Intelligence: it is the study of mental faculties, through the use of models
computational.

RELATIONS OF LAW WITH COMPUTER SCIENCE

1. To develop the ability of Law students for a better development of their qualities in the
knowledge and handling of computing

2. To guide law students towards a better understanding of the Law through the
computer science

3. Highlight the importance of computer science for the exercise of your professional career, in this
case is of lawyers.

4. Highlight the importance of the application of the legal norms that regulate the
different areas or branches of Law in relation to computer science, e.g. Habeas Data on law
constitutional, cyber crimes in criminal law, computer contracts in civil law.

5. Publicize the different ways to use the Internet, such as creating blogs, using different
free software programs, create opinion and academic articles, set up a blog, search
information on legal sites and online, etc.

Characteristics of Legal Informatics


It is a branch of law that is continuously developing as technology and societies are evolving.
constant change.

It helps us in the development of any other branch of law.

The purpose of computerization in a documentary system is to find the quickest and most...
relevant possible information that has been stored.

Its purpose is the automation of information systems related to the sources of


Legal knowledge: legislation, jurisprudence, and doctrine.

Legal document informatics are legal databases that are used to consult them for
appropriate legal decision-making.

In conclusion

Information technology can enable essential changes in legal work.


that the aspirations of speed, precision, greater knowledge, transparency, etc. are fulfilled. But
To achieve this, a difficult change is needed. Perhaps the best strategy is to implement
partial, effective, and lower resistance applications.

On its part, computer law must reconsider its general problems. In a reverse path.
to legal information, requires a general conception of the meaning and significance that in the
society has produced information technologies, understood not as a set of means
to carry out the same tasks but as producers of deep transformations in the
functional possibilities of society.
