The information-seeking behavior of lawyers has not been fully investigated empirically. Prior work has tended to focus on legal research as the central task performed by lawyers in their information-seeking activities. This analysis of more than 150 interviews of practicing lawyers showed that legal research should not be considered information-seeking. The lawyers interviewed identified other tasks, such as administration of their law practices, as constituting problem-solving,...

Discussion of terms and how they are used in queries in information retrieval focuses on a transaction log analysis of queries posed on an Internet search service that isolated basic query structure syntactic patterns. Describes a linguistic model that classified Web queries and suggests implications for information retrieval system design. (Contains 9 references.) (Author/LRW)

Our research focuses on designing effective search aids for legal researchers interested in law-related information on the world wide web. In this paper we report on the design and evaluation of two software systems developed to explore models for browsing and searching across a user-selected set of WWW sites. A directory services tool, LIBClient, provides a hierarchical index of legal information resources in an interface emphasizing ease-of-use by Internet novices and management of...

We analyzed transaction logs containing 51,473 queries posed by 18,113 users of Excite, a major Internet search service. We provide data on: (i) sessions — changes in queries during a session, number of pages viewed, and use of relevance feedback; (ii) queries — the number of search terms, and the use of logic and modifiers; and (iii) terms — their rank/frequency distribution and the most highly used search terms. We then shift the focus of analysis from the query to the user to gain insight...

Queries submitted to the Excite search engine were analyzed for subject content based on the cooccurrence of terms within multiterm queries. More than 1000 of the most frequently cooccurring term pairs were categorized into one or more of 30 developed subject areas. Subject area frequencies and their cooccurrences with one another were tallied and analyzed using hierarchical cluster analysis and multidimensional scaling. The cluster analyses revealed several anticipated and a few...

Basic skills of classification and subject indexing lhavc been little taught in British library schools since automation was introduced into libraries. However, development of the Internet as a major mcdium of publication has stretched the capacity of search engines to cope with rctrieval. Consequently, there has been interest in applying existing systems of knowledge organization to clcctronic resources. Unfortunately, the classification systems havc been adopted without a full...

The paper presents the results of a pilot study of 15 lawyers at various stages of their career. We examine novice lawyers at the beginning of their career and compare their concepts of task, information and information seeking with the concepts of task, information and information seeking of expert lawyers who have practiced law for more than 7 years. We observed that while novice lawyers have separate problem recognition and solution structures, for expert lawyers these structures are...

To put it mildly, use of the Internet for legal research has proliferated. In addition, many reference librarians who wish to supplement LEXIS-NEXIS, CIS Academic Universe, Westlaw, and other commercial legal resources are turning to freely-available Web-based legal resources for the sake of comprehensiveness and cost savings. With this as background, the Idaho State University Reference Division staff surveyed the significant and freely available legal sites on the Web. They used Academic...

When invited by counsel in the 1947 case of Read v. J. Lyons & Co' to rationalise the law of tort, Lord Macmillan's response was to say that it was not the House of Lords' "task to rationalise the law of England" since arguments "based on legal consistency are apt to mislead for the common law is a practical code adapted to deal with the manifold diversities of human life, and as a great American judge [Holmes] has reminded us, 'the life of the law has not been logic; it has been experience'...

Given this focus on classification, a useful way of examining the significance of these and similar books - and of doctrinal scholarship generally - is by assessing the books in the light of certain general questions about the role of classification in law, in particular questions about the role of classification when it is done in the traditional or doctrinal sense. Three questions about classification in law will be addressed: (I) Why (classify)?, (II) How (to classify)?, and (III) What...

Subject indexes are believed to have been invented in France in the 13th century, yet many modern French books lack such indexes. A two-pronged research project conducted in France in July 1999 aimed to examine manuscripts of the earliest indexes in libraries throughout the country and interview book publishers to determine their indexing policies. Manuscript book indexes produced in France, primarily in the Latin language and in the domain of religion, are works of extraordinary beauty,...

A large interest has been dedicated in recent years to the study of models for textual databases amenable to an effective integration of search and navigation functions. In the field of legal databases the need for sophisticated models is emphasised by the need to relate and combine in an effective way different types of texts, in order to solve legal problems.

L'auteur relève que des situations paradoxales surviennent dans l'interaction des catégories juridiques dans le droit communautaire avec le droit des États membres. Cette étude en fait l'observation à partir de données tirées des droits intellectuels et du droit de la concurrence.

The line between classification and knowledge is explored. Classification schemes have properties that enable the representation of entities and relationships in structures that reflect knowledge of the domain being classified. The strengths and limitations of four classificatory approaches are described in terms of their ability to reflect, discover, and create new knowledge. These approaches are hierarchies, trees, paradigms, and faceted analysis. Examples are provided of the way in which knowledge and the classification process affect each other.
