The COVID-19 pandemic created new demands for services in the judicial system, requiring the use of a data warehouse (DW). Although there exist approaches that use DW in the judicial domain, few target the pandemic or publicly provide the information extracted from the texts. Following the needs of a legal expert, we have developed the COVID-19 Portal. It extracts documents from the Supreme Federal Court in Brazil to obtain quantitative information on words used in the texts. In this paper, we present the design of a DW, and show the query performance improvement achieved with its implementation. The DW has been developed on Postgres, and its performance is compared with the original implementation on MongoDB Cloud and a local MongoDB database.

Commercial Organizations

Data Warehouses are increasingly used by commercial organizations to extract, from a huge amount of transactional data, concise information useful for supporting decision processes. However, the task of designing a data warehouse and evaluating its effectiveness is not trivial, especially in the case of large databases and in presence of redundant information. The meaning and the quality of selected attributes heavily influence the data warehouse’s effectiveness and the quality of derived decisions. Our research is focused on interactive methodologies and techniques targeted at supporting the data warehouse design and evaluation by taking into account the quality of initial data. In this chapter we propose an approach for supporting the data warehouses development and refinement, providing practical examples and demonstrating the effectiveness of our solution. Our approach is mainly based on two phases: the first one is targeted at interactively guiding the attributes selection by providing quantitative information measuring different statistical and syntactical aspects of data, while the second phase, based on a set of 3D visualizations, gives the opportunity of run-time refining taken design choices according to data examination and analysis. For experimenting proposed solutions on real data, we have developed a tool, called ELDA (EvaLuation DAta warehouse quality), that has been used for supporting the data warehouse design and evaluation.

Corporate Wrongdoing

The common question class action has been a source of division and controversy in the legal community. Hailed by its proponents as both a means for small claimants to obtain redress and a deterrent to corporate wrongdoing, the class action has been attacked by others as tantamount to “legalized blackmail” and as threatening to swamp the already overburdened judicial system with proceedings of extraordinary complexity. Two empirical studies of the class action have also reached diametrically opposed conclusions. A study by the American College of Trial Lawyers found that the common question class action suit “has mandated heavy expenditures of judicial time, effort and expense” and has sacrificed “procedural and substantive fairness to the party opposing the class,” while a study commissioned by the Senate Commerce Committee found that most class actions “proceed with reasonable smoothness in the Federal court.” Proposals to restrict the use of class actions have been advanced. While these proposals have not been adopted, the courts have increasingly limited the circumstances under which class actions may be maintained.

A Short Historical Review of the German Judicial SystemThe history of a unified German judiciary structure emphasizes two major characteristics. It tells a story of a judicial system which is as discontinuous as it is old. The first truly imperial court, known as the “Reichskammergericht”, was created in 1495. Its significant features were a permanent seat and an independence of the judges. Their decisions were final and conclusive, and were binding on the emperors. This court remained in existence until the demise of the old German Empire in 1806. Thereafter, due to a rapid political fragmentation of the territory formerly constituting the empire, the individual German states were bound together in a loose confederation only, known as the “Deutscher Bund”. Enjoying complete sovereignty, the states passed their own and widely differing laws. Endeavors to bring about some semblance of uniformity in such laws were doomed to failure, except in some areas of commercial law. Equally, in spite of repeated attempts, the formation of a unified appellate court of last resort encountered insurmountable difficulties. This state of affairs continued until cessation of the confederation when Austria was compelled to withdraw from it in 1866 and a new North German Confederation was formed under the leadership of Prussia. A few years later, in 1871, the North German Confederation was united with the southern German states and the new union became known as the German Empire.

Parties Cannot Agree To Give Jurisdiction To Dubai Court If the Defendant Has a Place of Domicile in Another Emirate of the Uae

Judicial Authority

AbstractIn a judgment delivered by the Dubai Court of Cassation, where the Court of Cassation upheld the judgment delivered by the lower courts, the court held that as per Article 104 of the UAE Provisional Constitution, the judicial authority in Dubai was independent from the federal judicial authorities application in the other emirates. Therefore it was not admissible for the parties to contract to agree to give jurisdiction to the Dubai Court unless the Dubai Court already has jurisdiction to hear the matter. Therefore, the parties cannot give jurisdiction to the Dubai Court by contract if the jurisdiction falls originally within the jurisdiction of another emirate, as this will be contrary to the public policy and the UAE Constitution. If the jurisdiction falls in the federal court, the matter should be brought before the federal court and not the Dubai Court as Dubai has an independent judicial system. On the other hand, if the matter falls within the jurisdiction of the Dubai Court, the matter may not be litigated in another federal court. The parties therefore may not contract to give jurisdiction either to the federal or the local court, unless that court has jurisdiction, by virtue of a contractual arrangement between the parties.

 This paper aims at investigating some discursive features of blawgs, namely legal blogs in which legal experts disseminate and popularise their expertise. More specifically, it involves a corpus-assisted discourse study of the ways in which situational contexts affect the practices and strategies used to represent, construct and communicate legal knowledge. A comparison is drawn between two corpora representative of two different types of communication: a selection of posts written by legal experts for other experts (symmetrical communication) and posts written by legal experts for laypersons (asymmetrical communication). Combining qualitative and quantitative observations, the analysis shows that, in symmetrical communication, the emphasis is on the blogger’s subjective interpretation of legal texts and on his role as knowledge disseminator, as indicated by the predominance of epistemic modality. In asymmetrical communication, on the other hand, the prevalence of deontic modality shifts the focus on to the reader as addressee of the advice, instructions and information provided by the legal expert.
