Christine Kirchberger - Doctoral Project

The doctoral project deals with legal information as a tool and in particular the effect of technical developments on legal information retrieval, legal theory and the doctrine of legal sources. By evaluating existing models of legal interpretation and legal working processes questions such as the growing amount of sources, both for information in general and in a legal sense, the utilisation of technical tools for legal information retrieval, the term legal information and the correlation between technique and efficiency in searching will be discussed.
