Hi all, here's my brief introduction...

I am consulting with RAND Corporation on various aspects of expert
system development and some of the test vehicles we have been using
are legal expert systems (e.g., a system to evaluate personal injury
product liability claims and propose case settlement values). 
Prior to my association with RAND I had done some work on
artificial intelligence and legal reasoning, constructing models
and representations of the concepts and reasoning involved.

My basic interest is in modeling the cognitive behavior of
professionals in the legal domain, focusing on a methodology for
collecting their knowledge and incorporating it into a knowledge
base for an expert system.
