Proceedings of the Third Workshop on Automated Semantic Analysis of Information in Legal Texts ASAIL 2019 Preface The Third Workshop on Automated Semantic Analysis of Information in Legal Texts (ASAIL 2019) will be held on June 21, 2019, at the Université de Montréal, co-located with the 17th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Law (ICAIL 2019). The purpose of the workshop is to provide a dedicated venue for legal NLP related work for which there has been an increasing number of main ICAIL conference submissions. The workshop received 15 submissions and one referred submission from another ICAIL workshop, resulting in a total of 16 submissions, one of which did not conform to the submission guidelines. The 15 eligible papers were peer reviewed and 13 were accepted for presentation. Of these, one was withdrawn to be presented at a different ICAIL workshop.
