  This volume contains the papers presented at LN2FR 2022: The International
Workshop on Methodologies for Translating Legal Norms into Formal
Representations, held on December 14, 2022 in association with 35th
International Conference on Legal Knowledge and Information Systems (JURIX
2022). Using symbolic logic or similar methods of knowledge representation to
formalise legal norms is one of the most traditional goals of legal informatics
as a scientific discipline. More than mere theoretical value, this approach is
also connected to promising real-world applications involving, e.g., the
observance of legal norms by highly automated machines or even the (partial)
automatisation of legal reasoning, leading to new automated legal services.
Albeit the long research tradition on the use of logic to formalise legal
norms, many challenges involved in the development of an adequate methodology
for the formalisation of concrete legal regulations remain unsolved. This
includes not only the choice of a sufficiently expressive formal language or
model, but also the concrete way through which a legal text formulated in
natural language is to be translated into the formal representation. The
workshop LN2FR seeked to explore the various challenges connected with the task
of using formal languages and models to represent legal norms in a
machine-readable manner.
