Hello law.MIT.edu Community! I'm excited to share with you the latest developments from the law.MIT.edu Computational Law Report. As we close out 2023, we've published a series of insightful articles that delve into the evolving world of computational legal studies, and we're laying the groundwork for innovative initiatives in generative AI for law in 2024. Highlights from our recent publications include collaborative works with the SMU Centre for Computational Law, exploring topics from machine learning in legal analysis to the future of decentralized governance. As we look forward to the new year, we're also preparing for the 9th annual Computational Law Workshop and an online legal hackathon. These events promise to be engaging and informative, offering opportunities for learning, discussion, and innovation. I invite you all to read our latest works and join in the conversation. Your thoughts and contributions are what make this community a hub for advancing legal technology. Read more about our latest publications and upcoming projects below. Looking forward to your thoughts and discussions.
