ProLaLa 2022 -- 1st Workshop on Programming Languages and the Law
Sunday Jan 16th, 2022
Philadelphia, PA
co-located with POPL 2022
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
(please forward to anyone who might be interested!)
We are pleased to announce ProLaLa'22, a new workshop concerned with the
intersection of PL (Programming Languages) techniques and the law. We
are particularly concerned with the following topics:
- language design for legal matters;
- static analysis of legal texts;
- program synthesis and repair for legal software components;
- formal modeling of legal semantics;
- non-standard logics in support of legal reasoning;
- program verification for legal expert systems.
If you have explored any of these areas, we encourage you to submit a
short abstract. We are hoping to solidify around this workshop what we
believe is a nascent community. As such, the workshop will be informal,
and we strongly encourage you to submit ongoing or already-published
work in the form of a brief 3-page submission for a long talk, or a
1-page submission for a short talk.

be virtual too. If POPL'22 happens in-person, we will support hybrid
(in-person and remote) participation.
