Analyzing Hong Kong's Legal Judgments from a Computational Linguistics point-of-view
Analysis and extraction of useful information from legal judgments using computational linguistics was one of the earliest problems posed in the domain of information retrieval. Presently, several commercial vendors exist who automate such tasks. However, a crucial bottleneck arises in the form of exorbitant pricing and lack of resources available in analysis of judgements mete out by Hong Kong's Legal System. This paper attempts to bridge this gap by providing several statistical, machine learning, deep learning and zero-shot learning based methods to effectively analyze legal judgments from Hong Kong's Court System. The methods proposed consists of: (1) Citation Network Graph Generation, (2) PageRank Algorithm, (3) Keyword Analysis and Summarization, (4) Sentiment Polarity, and (5) Paragrah Classification, in order to be able to extract key insights from individual as well a group of judgments together. This would make the overall analysis of judgments in Hong Kong less tedious and more automated in order to extract insights quickly using fast inferencing. We also provide an analysis of our results by benchmarking our results using Large Language Models making robust use of the HuggingFace ecosystem.

HKJudge: A Legal Discourse-Annotated Corpus for Interpreting What Courts Find, How They Reason, and What They Rule
Court judgments are central to legal practice and jurisprudence, yet discourse analysis of Hong Kong judgments has received limited attention, owing largely to the absence of expert-annotated corpora. We introduce the Ho…
Solving the Unsolvable: Translating Case Law in Hong Kong
This paper addresses the challenges translating case law under Hong Kong's bilingual legal system. It highlights the initial success of translating all written statutes into Chinese before the 1997 handover, a task manda…
