    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.
