    As part of the ICAIL-2001 conference, a one-day workshop will be held
    on the topic of legal evidence. The workshop is intended to bring
    together legal scholars and AI researchers interested in computational
    models of evidential reasoning, reasoning with uncertainty in
    evidential reasoning and evidence-gathering and investigation
    algorithms and advanced technologies. The workshop will be informal,
    aiming to bring different communities together, in order to identify
    common research interests and opportunities for interdisciplinary
    research.

    * CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS:

    Contributors are invited to submit papers, position statements and
    system demonstrations on topics including but not restricted to:

         Computational Models of Evidential Reasoning and Argumentation
         Reasoning with Uncertainty in Evidential Reasoning
         Computational Models of Inferring Causality
         Evidence-gathering and Investigation Algorithms
         Evidence-gathering through Internet
         Advanced Judicial Support Systems
         Intelligent Legal Tutoring Systems in the field of Evidence
         and Fact-finding

    Legal and philosophical contributors are encouraged to submit
    article-form papers, to be refereed by the Workshop Organizing
    Committee and presented during the workshop. Application developers
    are encouraged to demonstrate their systems and present papers
    describing the nature and purpose of the application, the techniques
    employed, and the current state of implementation.

    Persons interested in making presentations without submitting a
    paper are encouraged to submit a "statement of interest."

    Electronic submissions of workshop contributions are strongly preferred
    and should be sent to the Workshop Organizing Committee Chair as an
    email attachment, using Word or PDF format. To submit by ordinary mail,
