Welcome at CAL²-Research Group

CAL² is the acronym for the interdisciplinary research group Computer Assisted Legal Linguistics. Members of CAL² are linguists, lawyers and computational (corpus) linguists who explore the fabric of language and law in Europe and the world. Since 2014 we have developed new big and multilingual reference corpora of legal texts (cf. JuReko) and tested computer supported methods as a basis for new perspectives on both micro and macro structures of legal meanings and dogmatics. We try to make the law more explicit.
