Overloaded legal research
Legal teams spend too much time reviewing fragmented rulings and matching them to new cases.

Status
Active
Focus
Consistent legal reasoning and faster preparation for complex cases.
Why this project matters
Inconsistent interpretation
Similar situations can produce different outcomes, making legal reasoning harder to standardize.
Slow preparation cycle
Preparing clear case summaries and argument drafts manually delays decision support.
Juddges workflow
1
Define the legal scenario
Capture facts, context, and constraints in a structured way before legal analysis starts.
2
Retrieve analogous rulings
Use semantic retrieval to find similar judicial decisions and relevant supporting material.
3
Compare legal reasoning
Surface common and conflicting argument patterns across retrieved rulings.
4
Draft decision support notes
Generate concise, editable summaries that accelerate expert legal review.
Full project description
The JuDDGES project aims to revolutionize the accessibility and analysis of judicial decisions across varied legal systems using advanced Natural Language Processing and Human-In-The-Loop technologies. It focuses on criminal court records from jurisdictions with diverse legal constitutions, including Poland and England & Wales. By overcoming barriers related to resources, language, data, and format inhomogeneity, the project facilitates the development and testing of theories on judicial decision-making and informs judicial policy and practice. Open software and tools produced by the project will enable extensive, flexible meta-annotation of legal texts, benefiting researchers and public legal institutions alike. This initiative not only advances empirical legal research by adopting Open Science principles but also creates the most comprehensive legal research repository in Europe, fostering cross-disciplinary and cross-jurisdictional collaboration.
