“…Does the increased availability of full-text databases impact on the perception of printed articles (Lowe and Wallace 2011) or help less-reputed journals (Callahan and Devins 2006)? Is legal scholarship out of touch with practical jurisprudence, or does it still bear on judicial decision making (Harner and Cantone 2011)? How many copies of any journal should libraries purchase (Brown 2002)?…”

“…Aside from descriptive rankings, legal scholars turn to citations analysis to answer both epistemological and purely practical questions, such as: Are established academics more productive than younger colleagues (Landes and Posner )? Does the increased availability of full‐text databases impact on the perception of printed articles (Lowe and Wallace ) or help less‐reputed journals (Callahan and Devins )? Is legal scholarship out of touch with practical jurisprudence, or does it still bear on judicial decision making (Harner and Cantone )? How many copies of any journal should libraries purchase (Brown )? …”

Law exists solely in and through language. Nonetheless, systematical empirical analysis of legal language has been rare. Yet, the tides are turning: After judges at various courts (including the US Supreme Court) have championed a method of analysis called corpus linguistics, the Michigan Supreme Court held in June 2016 that this method “is consistent with how courts have understood statutory interpretation.” The court illustrated how corpus analysis can benefit legal casework, thus sanctifying twenty years of previous research into the matter. The present article synthesizes this research and introduces computer-assisted legal linguistics (CAL2) as a novel approach to legal studies. Computer-supported analysis of carefully preprocessed collections of legal texts lets lawyers analyze legal semantics, language, and sociosemiotics in different working contexts (judiciary, legislature, legal academia). The article introduces the interdisciplinary CAL2 research group (www.cal2.eu), its Corpus of German Law, and other related projects that make law more transparent.

“…This is attributable to the fact that general law journals prefer constitutional law, criminal law, legal jurisprudence, and related topics over business law topics, publishing approximately eighty‐five percent of their scholarship in nonbusiness law areas . This may also be because judicial citation of specialized law journals is increasing . In addition, some general law journals may decline otherwise meritorious submissions on topics where the university has an equivalent law journal in that specialty area.…”

“…368, 371, 374-378). The most analogous legal scholarship seeks, rather, to assess the influence of legal scholarship on legal decisionmaking outside the academy (e.g., Petherbridge and Schwartz 2011;Harner and Cantone 2011) or to advance the legal realist project of demystifying legal discourse (the most recent work on legal fictions discussed above tends to fall into this category). But the findings of discourse analysis also yield other possible paths of inquiry.…”
