                          JURIX2014-DC

     This volume collects the four contributions selected for the
Second International Jurix Doctoral Consortium, organized in
conjunction with the 27th International Conference on Legal
Knowledge and Information Systems, held in Kracow on December
10–12, 2014.

      This is the second year that JURIX has hosted Doctoral
Consortium and the aim is to provide a proper space for young Ph.D.
researchers in AI&Law, while encouraging a constructive and fruitful
dialogue between the senior scholars and the emerging generation of
researchers. The doctoral consortium enables students to interact with
academics and experts in the field who can evaluate their research
projects from both a theoretical and an applicative point of view.
Young researchers have an opportunity to present and discuss their
ideas in a dynamic and friendly setting, while the AI&Law community
can support the new generation of researchers in carrying forward the
interdisciplinary method.
      Included here are the five papers from the doctoral consortium:
four are selected from the Legal filed and the other from the Computer
Science area. In this way we achieve the goal to integrating the two
disciplines, so as to firm up the interdisciplinary foundation within the
AI&Law community. The topics addressed include legal argumentation
and legal reasoning, alternative dispute resolution, legal-knowledge
modelling, privacy online social network model.

      We would like to warmly thank all students, supervisors, and
referees and all the members of the program committee and the
organising team, for they have made the First International Jurix
Doctoral Consortium a huge success and an excellent opportunity to
enrich the AI&Law community with new emerging ideas.
