La « re-Découverte » récente des épaves des tables alphabétiques du premier cartulaire de la collégiale Saint-Julien de Brioude, compilé vers le début du XIIe siècle, semble apporter un nouveau jalon à la connaissance générale de l’histoire de l’indexation1. A la lumière de quelques rappels généraux retraçant succinctement la chronologie des usages de l’ordre alphabétique en Occident, et après un retour sur la question de l’apparition des premières indexations, nous présenterons et...

Automatically generated web search result categories were found to be beneficial in our previous study. In that study, we used 15 result categories and left the optimal number of categories issue deliberately untouched. To address this matter, we conducted a new experiment with 27 participants to compare search user interfaces with 10, 20, and 40 automatically generated categories. The results show that users prefer fewer categories. The use of fewer categories results in a slightly more...

Le cursus de premier cycle en droit adopté par l'Université McGill en 1998 - le programme transsystémique - est issu du passé politique, social et intellectuel propre à sa Faculté de droit. Ce texte dresse le bilan de ces contextes et caractérise le programme comme un entretien portant sur le droit, le langage et la connaissance qui n'a cessé d'alimenter le programme d'enseignement depuis la fondation de la faculté, il y a 150 ans. Le texte débute en juxtaposant les expressions « No...

Legal information is often accessible via portal web sites. Legal documents typically combine structured and unstructured information, the former being tagged with markup languages such as XML (Extensible Markup Language). Current information retrieval research takes into account the structured information content of documents when computing the relevance ranking. Such an approach is very promising for the retrieval of legal documents. This is illustrated with two retrieval models specifically designed for the retrieval of legislation.

La Faculté de droit de l'Université Laval reçoit ses premiers étudiants en 1984. La nouvelle institution met un certain temps à convaincre les futurs avocats et notaires de l'utilité de choisir la voie universitaire plutôt que la cléricature pour acquérir leur formation de base. Les hésitations sont levées alors que les ordres professionnels deviennent des acteurs de premier plan dans l'établissement du contenu des programmes. La faculté devient, pour plus d'un siècle, une école...

Professor Peoples reports the results of a study finding that the opinions and performance of modern legal researchers do not support the traditional notion that print digests are the tool of choice for researching legal rules while electronic databases are best suited for finding cases discussing unique factual situations. Tomorrow's lawyers are unaware of some common shortcomings of electronic research and do not possess the strategies to compensate for them. Law librarians must become...

Historiquement, avant 1804, le code se présente sous une forme double : recueil de sources formelles de droit, le plus souvent de législation, d’une part, fusion de l’ensemble des sources du droit en un texte nouveau consacré à une branche du droit, d’autre part. Ce n’est qu’aux XVIe et XVII e siècles que la seconde acception se manifeste en Europe occidentale, les siècles antérieurs suivant l’exemple romain du recueil de sources. Il faut attendre le XVIII e siècle, en Bavière pour que...

The potential of knowledge-based technological support for work in the legal domain has become widely recognized in recent time. This paper argues for an approach that is meant to complement existing work on top-level, statute-based ontologies for the law by extracting conceptual knowledge from verdict texts. Starting from a corpus-based survey on the definition and modification of concepts in German court verdicts we are currently working out a detailed description of the linguistic...

Lord Steyn started his speech in Attorney General v Blake by saying, 'My Lords, in law classification is important. Asking the right questions in the right order reduces the risk of wrong decisions. This truth is illustrated by the case before the House.'? This chapter focuses on the classification of remedies. As Kercher points out, 'The coherence of our study of Remedies does not come from its social, political or legal background ... Our study's coherence comes from the ways in which we...
