An intelligent application to extract the Ratio Decidendi

of a court decision.


 
   

 

             INTRODUCTION   




 
  

Several hundred course cases exist for the same civil codes. Often these course cases are very similar and always have

very similar attributes and decisions. Lawyers often need to go through hundreds of similar court cases in order to find

relevant information that will help them during their assessment. Our project is used to automate the task by analyzing the

court cases in order to be able to identify the most relevant details (ratio) that explain the reasoning behind the judge's

decision.

               CHALLENGES   

 
 

Providing a robust cloud based solution that ensures a high level of availability, scalibility and security is on of the main 

technical challenge. To achieve this, an AWS serverless architecture is being experimented.

 

 

             WHAT WE HAVE DONE   

 
 

Extract and segment text, analysis using regular expressions, generate logiciak entities and key sentences, train neural

networks, probabilistic evaluationof the result.
