The construction of intelligent legal decision support systems in discretionary domains will enhance consistent decision-making leading to increased confidence in the justice system and provide support for alternative dispute resolution. To build such intelligent decision support systems, discretionary legal domains are classified into four (not necessarily distinct) categories. Domains in which the number of outputs is limited are shown to involve the exercise of the strongest form of discretion. These findings are illustrated through four examples of discretionary legal domains-property division following divorce, the sentencing of criminals, refugee law and the welfare of children following divorce. The paper also discusses how to evaluate discretionary systems and the benefits of building discretionary systems.

We describe tools that are particularly suited to the development of knowledge based systems in the domain of law. The first tool is a conceptual model that supports the categorization of legal tasks. Once categorized, tasks can be mapped onto to the most appropriate artificial reasoning model (if any) for computer based implementation. This scheme is based on theoretical and cultural perspectives that have currency in the legal domain yet may have less relevance in other domains. The second tool, which we call the sequenced transition network, involves reducing the involvement of a knowledge engineer so that domain experts can more easily develop and maintain their own knowledge bases.
This paper describes an algorithm and provides test results for surrogate-model-based optimization. In this type of optimization, the objective and constraint functions are represented by global surrogates, i.e. respo...
