Computational Legal Studies™

We have spent the past couple days at the University of Pennsylvania where we presented information about our efforts to compile a complete United States Supreme Court Corpus.  As noted in the slides below, we are interested in creating a corpus containing not only every SCOTUS opinion, but also every SCOTUS disposition from 1791-2010. Slight variants of the slides below were presented at the Penn Computational Linguistics Lunch (CLunch) and the Linguistic Data Consortium(LDC).  We really appreciated the feedback and are looking forward to continue our work with the LDC.  For those who might be interested, take a look at the slides embedded below or click on this link:
