March 3–5 Features AI Jury Selection at 5th ACM Symposium on Computer Science and Law
Berkeley, CA — March 2, 2026 — The 5th ACM Symposium on Computer Science and Law begins tomorrow, March 3–5, 2026, in Berkeley, California, bringing together leading researchers, legal scholars, practitioners, and technologists to explore the cutting edge of interdisciplinary work at the intersection of computing and law. Hosted by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), the symposium is the flagship venue for presenting research that connects rigorous computer science methods with legal challenges and policy design.
A highlight of this year’s symposium is a series of presentations and discussions on artificial-intelligence applications in jury selection and legal fairness — showcasing how AI research is reshaping one of the most fundamental processes in trial practice. One featured contribution, “Predicting Juror Predisposition Using Machine Learning: A Comparative Study of Human and Algorithmic Jury Selection,” demonstrates how data-driven models can outperform traditional jury consultants in predicting juror decision tendencies, offering greater transparency and replicability in jury analytics.
This work is part of a broader AI for Legal Fairness Project, developed by interdisciplinary teams of AI researchers, legal professionals, and jury consultants, which seeks to democratize access to analytical tools for jury selection — an area historically dominated by intuition and expensive consulting services. By using interpretable machine-learning systems trained on mock juror data, the project aims to support trial preparation and broaden access to data-driven insights that have traditionally been limited to well-funded litigators.
Symposium Highlights (March 3–5):
-
March 3: Opening sessions featuring AI, privacy, and copyright research; poster sessions and lightning talks showcasing emerging work in law and computing.
-
March 4: Keynote and panel discussions on privacy and policy futures; legal reasoning and AI evaluations.
-
March 5: Empirics, algorithmic fairness sessions, and legal theory panels — including work on less discriminatory algorithms and AI-assisted legal decision support systems.
The conference draws a global community of scholars fluent in both rigorous computation and legal analysis, creating a space to tackle pressing socio-technical questions such as fairness, bias, accountability, and automated decision-making in the legal system.
Registrations remain open through March 5, with participation from academic and professional communities worldwide. For more details on registrations, accepted papers, and the full program, visit the official symposium website.
About the ACM Symposium on Computer Science and Law: The ACM Symposium on Computer Science and Law is an annual interdisciplinary conference that bridges the gap between computing research and legal scholarship by spotlighting work that integrates technical computer science reasoning with legal questions of policy, fairness, and societal impact.
