The 2019 edition of the LEX Summer School and the Akoma Ntoso Developer’s Workshop are coming up in September and will be held at the Ravenna Campus of the University of Bologna in Ravenna, Italy. These events are a good way to learn about developments in legal informatics, get an introduction to XML, Akoma Ntoso, and other related technologies, and to interact with other members of our small community.

The dates are September 9th-14th for the Summer School and September 16th-17th for the developer’s workshop. You can learn more at http://summerschoollex.cirsfid.unibo.it/

For me, this will be the 10th year for me to have participated — 10 times in Ravenna and twice at the U.S. editions we have also held. This is one of the highlights of my year and is well worth the expense and effort of getting to Ravenna, Italy each year. There is always a very open exchange of ideas and a real sense of community of practitioners in this field.
