Bench-Capon, T., Araszkiewicz, M., Ashley, K., Atkinson, K., Bex, F., Borges, F., Bourcier, D., Bourgine, D., Conrad, J.G., Francesconi, E., Gordon, T.F., Governatori, G., Leidner, J.L., Lewis, D.D., Loui, R.P., McCarty, L.T., Prakken, H., Schilder, F., Schweighofer, E., Thompson, P., Tyrrell, A., Verheij, B., Walton, D.N., Wyner, A.Z.

We provide a retrospective of 25 years of the International Conference on AI and Law, which was first held in 1987. Fifty papers have been selected from the thirteen conferences and each of them is described in a short subsection individually written by one of the 24 authors. These subsections attempt to place the paper discussed in the context of the development of AI and Law, while often offering some personal reactions and reflections. As a whole, the subsections build into a history of the last quarter century of the field, and provide some insights into where it has come from, where it is now, and where it might go.
