The ManyLaws consortium organised our very first workshop, led by the Danube University Krems, and co-located within JURIX 2018: The 31st International Conference on Legal Knowledge and Information Systems, on 12 December 2018 in Groningen, the Netherlands. This half-day interactive workshop brought together legal scholars, practitioners, and policymakers within a stimulating environment to discuss current developments, opportunities and challenges relating to the application of text mining, the compilation of databases, and the use of AI and supercomputing to facilitate the publication of and access to legal information in the European context. The workshop focused on the factors that can contribute to the effective delivery of legal data-related services, and engaged participants in a discussion of the key legal and ethical considerations associated with the application of advanced computing technologies to the acquisition, storage, and processing of legal information. It also featured a joint session with the Lynx project, whose co-ordinators made a short invited presentation.
