From rule of law to statute drafting:
Legal issues for algorithms in government decision-making

In this contribution to the Cambridge Handbook on the Law of Algorithms, Monika Zalnieriute and Lyria Bennett Moses examine how the values of the rule of law are affected by automated government decision-making systems and the legal and practical issues that the implementation and supervision of such systems may pose in practice. 

The chapter sketches the means with which algorithms are used across the spectrum of government decision-making — from the drafting of legislation, to judicial decision-making.
