Natural Language Processing in Court Order Scrutiny

Arunima Maitra

Abstract: With an increasing number of court orders coming in daily, it has become difficult for the legal teams to keep up with the case updates. The most time - consuming and inevitable part is to read the legal order again and again until all relevant points are noted. Minimizing the time spent to gather all the facts of the order can speed up the analysis process. Hence, there arises a need for a search system which can resolve this problem by generating a concise and comprehensive report of the court order. In this paper, we propose to create a pipeline that will extract key information from the court orders, analyse the sentiment from the linguistic elements and summarize the important passages pertaining to the final judgement in the order. The project will create a Data Lake, populated with artifacts and related data/ meta data which will accumulate over time and become in valuable to the legal department.
