| Abstract: Court decisions represent outcomes of court cases and their number constantly increases. These decisions are usually published online allowing lawyers and other interested citizens to be informed on the work of courts. The size of published datasets can bring some difficulties to the retrieval and analysis of court decisions on a particular legal issue. Extracting data from court decisions and identification of cited legislation, regulation, and case law would allow better data organization to more efficiently retrieve, browse and further process the data for statistical analysis. These data could also help in detecting potential inconsistencies in decisions delivered by courts. This paper proposes an approach consisting of various NLP techniques for extracting relevant data from New Zealand’s court decisions and using them to construct a system of linked legal documents for better navigation through legal cases. |
