*Apologies for multiple postings.* *Examining the Technical, Legal and Ethical Implications of Improved Access to Legal Information Using Supercomputing Technology: The ManyLaws Project* **This workshop is collocated within JURIX 2018, The 31st International Conference on Legal Knowledge and Information Systems, December 12–14, 2018 in Groningen, The Netherlands** Legal information is an asset for decision making not only by EU institutions but also by member states, local administrations, businesses and citizens. Accurate, target-orientated, and timely information could enhance the digitisation of decision-making processes. Data such as legislation acts, bills, case laws, resolutions and decisions, published in each Member States’ language, as well as administration and citizen-generated content is increasingly embedded in large amounts of textual data available on the Internet. The vision of the ManyLaws project is thus to produce semantically annotated Big Legal Open Data, easily searchable and exploitable based on text mining tools and algorithms offered through proper visualization techniques. This workshop will provide a forum for scholars and practitioners from different backgrounds to discuss the factors that can contribute to the effective delivery of the new services proposed by ManyLaws; thereby engaging participants in an interactive exploration of the legal and ethical implications associated with the application of advanced computing technologies to the acquisition, storage, and processing of legal information. *Format of the Workshop:* The workshop will be divided into two sessions, each comprising of three interrelated activities: 1) Introductory short presentations by the organisers 2) Group breakout sessions focusing on key issues, and 3) Interactive discussions to generate conclusions. Ideas and insights generated through discussions during this workshop will be recorded by the organisers and shared with workshop participants and the general public at a future date. *Participation:* Register for full JURIX 2018 conference ( http://jurix2018.ai.rug.nl/registration.php) or for JURIX 2018 Workshops.
