Due to popular demand, Professor Kevin D. Ashley, University of Pittsburgh, will present a second lecture on "How Computational Models of Legal Reasoning Can Help Legal Apps" from 12 noon to 1pm in the UQ Law Boardroom  on 16 May.

Professor Ashley is the second speaker in our Technology and the Future of the Legal Profession Lecture Series, and has kindly agreed to present at the Law School in addition to Queensland Supreme Court Library in the evening.

We hope the additional time allows for more UQ academics to attend and learn from Professor Ashley, an expert on computer modelling of legal reasoning and cyberspace legal issues.

About Technology and the Future of the Legal Profession Lecture Series

The Technology and the Future of the Legal Profession Lecture Series will bring together experts from academia, industry and legal practice to debate the ways in which technology is being taken up by the legal profession and the impact that this might have in the future. Accelerating technological change has already affected the legal profession, and it will inevitably have broader effects on law and legal practice in the years to come. The purpose of the lecture series is to highlight the challenges and opportunities that these changes present for lawyers.

The series is organised by the UQ Law, Science and Technology Program.
