Legal Informatics Overview and Analysis
Legal Informatics Overview and Analysis
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.
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:
From this branch arises the analysis of the information contained in legal documents for the
formation of Documentary Databases.
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:
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.
Whose starting point can be systematized monthly files, whether sectorized and
integrals.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The purpose of computerization in a documentary system is to find the quickest and most...
relevant possible information that has been stored.
Legal document informatics are legal databases that are used to consult them for
appropriate legal decision-making.
In conclusion
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.
