Hi,

I am wondering if there is some references on how R can be used to
analyse legal/court documents. I searched a bit in internet but unable
to get anything meaningful.

Any reference will be very appreciated.

Thanks for your time.

Thanks and regards,

Hi Brian. I assume you're interested in some kind of classification of  
the theme or the contents within each document?
In which case I would direct you to natural language processing for  
multinomial classification of unstructured data. Basically an NLP  
(natural language processing) classification problem. The first  
challenge will be obtaining human-labeled training examples of a  
sufficient number of example documents.


Thanks,
Tom
