Professor Dr. Daniel Martin Katz of Michigan State University College of Law, Michael J. Bommarito II of Computational Legal Studies, and colleagues, have launched Legal Language Explorer, a new, free, Web-based software application that performs Google N-gram word counts on U.S. Supreme Court decisions.
One of the notable features of Legal Language Explorer is that it analyzes full-text court decisions published free on the Web by Public.Resource.Org, as part of the Law.gov legal open government data movement. Katz and Bommarito have previously argued that making more full-text legal resources available free on the Web would enable researchers to build new software tools for processing those resources, and to generate new knowledge through innovative analysis of those resources. Legal Language Explorer exemplifies this kind of software innovation fostered by open legal data, while the authors? new paper, entitled Legal N-Grams? A Simple Approach to Track the ?Evolution? of Legal Language, illustrates the kinds of original research that may arise from analysis of such data.
