Arguably the first article discussing the uses of AI in the law beyond straightforward information retrieval.Although the computer has worked its way out of the laboratory and into common experience, lawyers have made slim progress towards finding useful computer applications. Research in artificial intelligence, a branch of computer science, has illuminated our capacity to use computers to model human thought processes. This research suggests that computer science may assist lawyers in both the study and performance of their reasoning processes. In this Article we will argue that the time has come for serious interdisciplinary work between lawyers and computer scientists to explore the computer's potential in law.Stanford Law Review vol.23, no.1, November, 1970
