BSES part 2: adding jurisdictional functionality
The BSES from the previous post covered most of high treason’s basics, but left out one question with some particular intra-statutory considerations — namely, jurisdiction. This next section adds this step and begins the process of incorporating other aspects of the Criminal Code into the program.
BSES part 1: a basic statutory expert system
Despite advances in generative AI, expert legal systems will continue to be necessary for legal tech and its applications.
