LII/Legal Information Institute is an effort to make US and world law freely accessible.
Managed subject identity will be valuable in navigation of primary and secondary legal materials, binding of those materials to case specific content and mining of legal discovery materials.
For mapping primary legal materials, this is the place to start.
Questions:
- How would you manage subject identity to eliminate duplication in U.S. case research output?
- Is your test court or jurisdiction specific? Any thoughts on how to broaden that?
- Same questions but pick a non-U.S. jurisdiction.
- How would you manage subject identity with regard to statutory citations?
- Bonus Question: When a U.S. court says “in Brown” do they mean Brown vs. Bd. of Education or do they mean some other Brown case? Suggest some ways identify the “Brown” in question.
