Feel free to learn from the version that suits you best!
| Summary difficulty | Written by | Summary |
|---|---|---|
| High | Paper authors | High Difficulty Summary Read the original abstract here |
| Medium | GrooveSquid.com (original content) | Medium Difficulty Summary The proposed model enriches Boolean classifiers with an organisational structure that considers the hierarchy of courts and the binding/constraining nature of decisions. This framework formalises overruled and per incuriam cases, which are not considered binding on later cases. The approach is specifically designed for common law systems, taking into account both hierarchical and temporal dimensions. It enables unambiguous decision-making in the presence of conflicting precedents. |
| Low | GrooveSquid.com (original content) | Low Difficulty Summary This paper improves how computers make decisions based on previous court cases. It creates a new model that considers the hierarchy of courts and which courts have the most important decisions. This helps to avoid conflicts when there are different opinions from earlier cases. The model is designed for countries with common law systems, like the UK or the US. It also looks at how older cases relate to newer ones. |
