Visualizing Law: Experiences and Perspectives of Legal Visual Analytics

Social sciences are undergoing an era of deep change. The data deluge and the availability of advanced computational heuristics are providing researchers with innovative ways to delve into social complexity. The same applies to the legal world, where techniques spanning from NLP to machine learning and network analysis are opening up new epistemological and methodological prospects to both research and practice. The presentation will focus on the legal applications of visual analytics. After a brief introduction to the rise and the challenges of what we define as Visual Legal Analytics, we present three experimental platforms for visual analytics discussing their objectives, implications, and perspectives.
