Professor Giovanni Sartor, University of Bologna, has been awarded with the CodeX Prize, an annual award given to an individual or group for a noteworthy contribution to computational law—an idea, article, book, computer application, computer tool, or organization that has had a significant and enduring positive impact on the field.
This year’s CodeX Prize was awarded jointly to three academic researchers from three different countries who have collaborated for decades on legal argumentation theory. Their areas of research broadly impact on how artificial intelligence can be leveraged in the formulation of sophisticated legal arguments.
The joint winners are Henry Prakken from the Netherlands, a senior lecturer in the intelligent systems group of the computer science department at Utrecht University and a professor of legal informatics and legal argumentation at the University of Groningen; Giovanni Sartor of Italy, a professor in legal informatics at the University of Bologna and professor in legal informatics and legal theory at the European University Institute of Florence; and Trevor Bench-Capon, a retired computer science professor from the University of Liverpool in England.
