Although the first legal information system projects already existed in
Yugo- slavia (RSPOUP), it was not until the introduction of a free business initiative and the development of personal
computers that the conditions for effective assistance to lawyers in their work were created.
During the pioneering period, the Computer Science
Section of the Society of Business Lawyers
took the lead by
organising "Lawyer and Computer” courses
and an annual computer work- shop as part of the Days of
Slovenian Jurists in Portorož. The turning point was the professionalisation of legal informatics with the establishment of IUS SOFTWARE company
and its legal information system IUS-INFO, as well as by the introduction of the Legal Informatics course
at law faculties in Ljubljana and Maribor. The quality of all
types of legal texts has been significantly im- proved over the last two
decades with artificial intelligence modules, which will serve as the legal
basis for all future modernisation and efficiency gains.
Key words: informatics, information system, artificial intelligence, computer, society, jurist, law faculty.
