Quels sont les grands arrêts des tribunaux canadiens ayant façonné les droits des femmes ? Cette question soulève d’importants défis d’ordre théorique et méthodologique. Il n’est pas facile de définir un « grand » arrêt pour les femmes et les critères pour déterminer les arrêts qui ont fait « avancer » la condition des femmes au Québec. De plus, il est difficile de travailler avec des banques de données structurées en dehors des réalités des femmes. Dans le texte qui suit, les auteures...

Vanda Broughton describes the methodology of constructing a thesaurus from a faceted classification for law (Bliss Bibliographic Classification 2nd ed. Class S). The structure of the classification is described, and the way in which the thesaural relationships are derived from this is demonstrated. Recent work to automate the process, using the encoded classification data used for the schedule display and alphabetical index, is explained. Examples of the way in which this functions are...

"Mr. Koulikov examines the level of coverage that articles originally published in law reviews receive in eight major general academic databases. His findings are very similar to those of other discipline-specific database coverage studies, and reveal that coverage varies widely by database, regardless of the database's claim to cover legal periodicals. This has particular implications for the level of engagement that nonlegal scholars have with the literature of the legal academia, and for...

In 2002 Sweet & Maxwell began a long term project to apply a controlled vocabulary to their products, both in print and online. This vocabulary is essentially a thesaurus, structured on the principles of facet analysis, called the Legal Taxonomy. Sweet & Maxwell produce a wide range of legal publications that attempt to cover the gamut of a lawyer’s information sources. As everybody working in legal information knows, very few of a lawyer’s information needs will be met by reference to just...

"The history and theory of human textual indexing are surveyed. Basic terms are defined, the extent of the literature is discussed, and key concepts are explained, with an emphasis on thesaurus-based indexing. A section on the consistency of human indexing leads into a discussion of automatic indexing algorithms. An assessment of the future of human indexing concludes the entry. Pages from an early printed index and a manuscript index illustrate the structural elements of index entries as well as features of the format of early indexes that are still found in contemporary publications."

The renaissance of interest in American legal history has been greatly aided by a variety of developments in the materials and methods of legal research. Legal history has become a new center of attention in American legal education and scholarship and has attracted similarly enhanced interest in university history departments. Fortunately, this comes at a time when increasingly sophisticated research techniques and sources are gaining wide acceptance in both the academic and legal communities. Professor Cohen surveys the effects of these advances on research in American legal history.

In revisiting their Stanford Law Review article, “Why Do We Tell the Same Stories: Law Reform, Critical Librarianship, and the Triple Helix Dilemma,” Professors Delgado and Stefancic contend that computer-assisted legal research has not proven to be a boon to the cause of law reform. At the time of the first article, the computer revolution, which irreversibly changed how we research legal questions, was just dawning. In this article, they focus again on categorical thinking, but this time...

Helmut Zedelmaier explores the early encyclopaedia as knowledge management tool, and the part played in its development by the index, discusses the role of the printing press in the development of the index, asks why the index declined in the 18th century, and identifies topics for consideration when some future history of the book index comes to be written. This article was translated by Andrew Horne.

The recent ‘rediscovery’ of fragments of the alphabetical tables of the first Cartulary of the Collegiate Church of St Julian of Auvergne, compiled at the beginning of the 12th century, would seem to have introduced a new milestone into the general understanding of the history of indexing. This article looks briefly at the chronology of the use of alphabetical order in the West and the appearance of the first indexes; analyses the distinctive features of the Brivadois fragments; and finally,...

In this article Caroline Diepeveen explores the beginnings of the indexing tradition in Europe and considers to what extent that tradition has survived into contemporary practice there.

On the past few years, an important legal debate has been raging, the full effects of which many lawyers have not yet felt. I am referring to the taxonomy debate and, specifically, the attempts by the late Professor Peter Birks and (the mainly academic) supporters and advocates of his and similar views to impose a coherent and logical taxonomy upon private (common) law. Much more attention should be paid to sound taxonomy, it is argued. This great project has been little noticed outside the...

"This essay examines the ambition to taxonomize law and the different methods a legal taxonomer might employ. Two possibilities predominate. The first is a reason-based taxonomy that classifies legal rules and decisions according to “legal principles” thought to justify them. Reason-based taxonomy of this type offers courts a set of high-level decisional rules, drawn from legal data, for use in deciding new cases and evaluating precedents. The second possibility is a formal taxonomy that...
