Citation Network: Which Decisions Cite a Provision
Enlarge imageThe “Citation neighborhood” shows as a cloud the provision § 622 BGB in the center and around it the decisions that cite it, with court and file number; dashed lines lead to connected legal concepts. The nodes are colored by court level and their size follows the number of citations, while the color says nothing about importance. You click a node, load further neighbors with a double click, or switch to the column view and sort by “Newest” or “Most cited”. This way you follow how a provision is used in case law; a selection of the citing decisions is shown, the newest by decision date.
