:The American Library Association defines Informatics as “the study of the Structure and Properties of Information , as well as the application of Technology to the Organization , Storage , Retrieval , and dissemination of information.” Legal informatics therefore, pertains to the application of informatics within the context of the legal environment and as such involves Law -related Organization s (e.g., law offices, Court s, and Law School s) and User s of information and Information Technologies within these organizations. Legal informatics could be said then, to encompass several conceptual areas: # Information Retrieval (both manual and automated systems such as Artificial Intelligence ) # Law and Policy (issues such as Privacy , Copyright , and Security ) # Information Access issues (such as making legal and government information more accessible to the public, both physically and intellectually) and #practice issues (applications which help Lawyer s in their day-to-day operations).
