JuDDGES aims to develop open software and tools for the extensive and flexible meta-annotation of legal records from criminal courts in jurisdictions with diverse legal systems, starting with Poland and England & Wales. This initiative is designed to support the development and empirical testing of theories in judicial decision-making, facilitating a deeper understanding of judicial policies and practices.
Goals
Empower Researchers: Providing researchers with tools for in-depth analysis of judicial decisions.
Foster Open Science: Making software tools and annotated datasets publicly available for research and educational purposes.
Enhance Legal Research: Enabling empirical testing of judicial decision-making theories and practices.
JuDDGES is centered on innovative approaches to data processing and analysis, incorporating advanced machine learning techniques and human expertise to navigate and interpret complex legal datasets.
The project anticipates significant contributions to legal research methodologies, the open science movement, and policy-making processes, setting new standards for data-driven judicial analysis.
A suite of open-source software for legal research.
The largest and most comprehensive open and reusable dataset for judicial decision-making research in Europe.
