Computational Law & LegalTech Lab

The Computational Law and Legaltech Lab (CL3)

The Centre’s research will be supplemented by CL3, an interdisciplinary research lab which produces computational, scientific, and empirical legal research. We view computational law as an integral part of digital law. CL3’s core research focus is on how emerging computational and legal technologies can, will, and should affect the study, development, and practice of law. To this end, CL3 will employ primarily quantitative and (social) scientific methodologies to answer the above questions. Surveys, experiments, and simulations will be conducted to provide scientific backing to its work.

The Research Programme on Computational Law, housed at the previous Centre for Computational Law, will operate as is in the merged Centre under CL3’s ambit. We continue to pursue applied computational law research in collaboration with industry stakeholders. CL3 will also develop and pursue a research agenda around computational legal studies and the impact of emerging legaltech on the profession.
