[Corpora-List] Search for legal English corpora

[Claire Grover]

Dear Maria José

You might find the HOLJ corpus useful:

http://www.ltg.ed.ac.uk/SUM/CORPUS/index.html

The HOLJ Corpus is comprised of 188 judgments from the UK House of Lords 
from the years 2001--2003. The corpus contains several layers of 
annotation, both automatic (several stages of linguistic analysis) and 
manual (rhetorical role and relevance for summarization).
