Mining Legal Arguments: Proportionality in German Constitutional Court Judgments

This presentation explores how digital humanities and natural language processing methods can be used to assess legal arguments, focusing on a case study of the proportionality test in the German Federal Constitutional Court decisions conducted by the LLCon research group (https://www.lehrstuhl-moellers.de/llcon). The project involved manually annotating court decisions and conducting descriptive analysis, while also applying machine learning to automate the recognition of proportionality tests in case law.
