Abstract

Empirical research on basic components of American judicial opinions has only scratched the surface. Lack of sufficient legal experts and adequate computational resources are but two reasons responsible for this deficiency. Aided by a team of expert attorney-editors, we have undertaken a three-phase study to uncover fundamental components of judicial opinions found in American case law. We hypothesized that after years of working closely with thousands of judicial opinions, expert attorneys would develop a refined and internalized schema of the content and structure of legal cases. In this study participants were permitted to describe both concept-related and format-related components. The resultant components are reported on in this paper. Additional experiments currently underway further validate and refine this set of components and apply them to new search paradigms
