Abstract: Intelligent Jurisprudence Research (IJR) is a concept that consists in performing jurisprudence research with a computational tool that employs Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques. Jurisprudence research is the search employed by judicial professionals when seeking for past legal situations that may be useful to a legal activity. When humans perform jurisprudence research, they employ analogical reasoning in comparing a given actual situation with past decisions, noting the affinities between them. In the process of remembering a similar situation when faced to a new one, Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) systems simulate analogical reasoning. Therefore, CBR is an appropriate technology to deal with the chosen problem.
