     The Legal Informatics and Legal Information Technology (LIT)
Workshop is an annual event which gathers people interested in broadly
understood Legal Informatics and its applications. The LIT 2014 meeting
will take place in Larnaca, Cyprus as part of the 17th International
Conference on Business Information Systems. As a continuation of
previous editions, we invite people dealing with different domains
closely related to legal matter and Information Technology.
     The 6th Legal Informatics and Legal Information Technology Workshop
will be a multi-disciplinary, one-day workshop that will bring together
practitioners and researchers to investigate challenges and
opportunities in the emerging trends on the verge of law and IT. The
workshop will examine vital issues, including law-related business
processes, legal ontologies, description frameworks, discussing new
research and innovative applications in Law, Information Technology as
well as Insurance. The workshop is receptive to all papers dealing with
any topic in these interdisciplinary domains.
     In the year 2013 all papers accepted to the workshop have been
published in Springer Series: Lecture Notes in Business Information
Processing. We are planning to continue the cooperation with the
publisher on this edition of the event.
