Abstract
In this paper, we describe the use of legal ontologies as a basis to improve IT support for professional judges. In the ontology, we emphasize the importance of professional knowledge and experience as an important pillar for constructing the ontology. We describe an intelligent FAQ system for junior judges that intensively uses the ontology.
