This paper presents a multilingual legal information retrieval system for mapping recitals to articles in European Union (EU) directives and normative provisions in national legislation. Such a system could be useful for purposive interpretation of norms. A previous work on mapping recitals and normative provisions was limited to EU legislation in English and only one lexical text similarity technique. In this paper, we develop state-of-the-art text similarity models to investigate the interplay between directive recitals, directive (sub-)articles and provisions of national implementing measures (NIMs) on a multilingual corpus (from Ireland, Italy and Luxembourg). Our results indicate that directive recitals do not have a direct influence on NIM provisions, but they sometimes contain additional information that is not present in the transposed directive sub-article, and can therefore facilitate purposive interpretation.

Automatic Mechanism

Information retrieval (IR) is an automatic mechanism to extract required information from a collection of unstructured or semi-structured data. IR systems minimize the effort of a user to locate the information based on the requirements. Clustering of documents is carried out as a preprocessing step for filtering irrelevant information in an IR system. Legal domain is a producer as well as consumer of huge in-formation which also contains invaluable legal knowledge and its interpretation. Knowledge based legal information retrieval systems is need of the day. Citation analysis is a technique to find the hidden relationships between the documents and is used for understanding knowledge transfer across various domains and hence becomes very important in legal domain. In this study, similarities among documents are analyzed using data clustering when applied on data of citations in court judgments.
