# Case Law Explorer: ETL

Materials for building a network analysis software platform for analyzing Dutch and European court decisions. This repository builds on the work by Dafne van Kuppevelt of the Netherlands e-Science Centre [NLeSC/case-law-app](https://github.com/NLeSC/case-law-app).

## Quickstart

- Setup and run locally the extraction pipeline with the [Caselaw extraction walkthrough](https://maastrichtlawtech.github.io/case-law-explorer/#/etl/)

- Setup and run a GraphQL API with AWS in the [GraphQL API walkthrough](https://maastrichtlawtech.github.io/case-law-explorer/#/graphql/)

## Datasets

See [Datasets](/datasets/). Currently, we gather the case law of the Netherlands and that of two European courts, as it follows:

- **Published and operable**

    - [Rechtspraak](https://maastrichtlawtech.github.io/case-law-explorer/#/datasets/?id=rechtspraak-archive), backed by [Legal Intelligence](https://maastrichtlawtech.github.io/case-law-explorer/#/datasets/?id=legal-intelligence-api), and citations provided by [LIDO](https://maastrichtlawtech.github.io/case-law-explorer/#/datasets/?id=linked-data-overheid-lido)

- **Work in progress**

    - [European Court of Human Rights](https://maastrichtlawtech.github.io/case-law-explorer/#/datasets/?id=european-court-of-human-rights-echr) with WIP scripts available on [GitHub](https://github.com/maastrichtlawtech/case-law-explorer/blob/master/data_extraction/caselaw/echr/ECHR_metadata_harvester.py) 

    - [Court of Justice of the European Union](https://maastrichtlawtech.github.io/case-law-explorer/#/datasets/?id=court-of-justice-of-the-european-union-cjeu) with WIP scripts available on [GitHub](https://github.com/maastrichtlawtech/case-law-explorer/blob/master/data_extraction/caselaw/cellar/cellar_extraction.py)

We plan to extend the data to other international courts.
