TEXT SUMMARIZATION AS AN EMPIRICAL LEGAL RESEARCH TOOL
Abstract
This paper use text summarization techniques as a tool for empirical legal research, creating a summary of the decisions given the phrases predictive power with regards to the decision outcome. A dataset of habeas corpus decisions from various courts in Brazil is used that explicitly cite the COVID pandemic as a reason for requesting the release of the patients. A predictive model is created and through this analysis we propose to find the arguments most correlated with the outcome.
