Description:

We currently have a fully funded (EUR 1700/month) four-year position open for
a talented PhD student interested in computational and corpus linguistic
analysis of court judgments. Data is available both in English and in Dutch. 

For decades, summaries of court judgments were published in written journals,
which were not easily accessible for the public. Nowadays, courts publish
their judgments online. For example, through http://www.rechtspraak.nl (NL) or
through http://hudoc.echr.coe.int (ECHR). The goal of this project is to
automatically identify (linguistic) patterns in this type of legal big data
and use these to predict the outcome of the judgments. 

More information can be found here (about the project):

And here about the procedure (Project 2):

(m.b.wieling at rug.nl) and Michel Vols (Faculty of Law) (m.vols at rug.nl) for more
information.
