Revista Brasileira de Direitos Fundamentais & Justiça, 2019 Precedent is and remains central to common law, but is neither fixed in stone, a mechanical rule to follow, nor fundamentally “binding.” In interesting yet often neglected ways, precedents maynot only be expressly but implicitly overruled, abandoned or circumvented (without saying so), so as to render them no longer “good law”, or undercut by simply ...

Precedent-Enhanced Legal Judgment Prediction with LLM and Domain-Model Collaboration [PDF]
Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing, 2023 Legal Judgment Prediction (LJP) has become an increasingly crucial task in Legal AI, i.e., predicting the judgment of the case in terms of case fact description.

On the Role of Negative Precedent in Legal Outcome Prediction [PDF]
Transactions of the Association for Computational Linguistics, 2022 Every legal case sets a precedent by developing the law in one of the following two ways. It either expands its scope, in which case it sets positive precedent, or it narrows it, in which case it sets negative precedent.

What About the Precedent: An Information-Theoretic Analysis of Common Law [PDF]
North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics, 2021 In common law, the outcome of a new case is determined mostly by precedent cases, rather than by existing statutes. However, how exactly does the precedent influence the outcome of a new case?

A formal analysis of some factor- and precedent-based accounts of precedential constraint
Artificial Intelligence and Law, 2021 In this paper several recent factor- and dimension-based models of precedential constraint are formally investigated and an alternative dimension-based model is proposed.

Oxford Journal of Legal Studies, 2021 Courts may reason using precedents in various ways, but not all of them satisfy the rule of law. This article provides two ways that are compatible with this ideal and one which is not.

Forecasting Multivariate Chaotic Processes with Precedent Analysis
De Computis, 2021 Predicting the state of a dynamic system influenced by a chaotic immersion environment is an extremely difficult task, in which the direct use of statistical extrapolation computational schemes is infeasible.

Continuing the precedent: Financially disadvantaging young people in "unprecedented" COVID‐19 times
Australian Journal of Social Issues, 2021 The COVID‐19 pandemic is both a health and an economic crisis. Economically, lockdowns across Australia have devastated business and industry, creating immediate spikes in under‐ and unemployment. These impacts intersect with the precarious labour market

Future climate forcing potentially without precedent in the last 420 million years
Nature Communications, 2017 The evolution of Earth’s climate on geological timescales is largely driven by variations in the magnitude of total solar irradiance (TSI) and changes in the greenhouse gas content of the atmosphere.
