Who Cites Whom: The Citation Network of a Single Decision

The citation network shows on the left the judgments that cite a decision and on the right the provisions it relies on.Enlarge image

The citation network shows a decision in the center, on the left the judgments that cite it and on the right the provisions it relies on. Circles stand for decisions, squares with a section sign for provisions, and size and color reflect the number of citations and the court level. A click selects a node, a double click loads further neighbors, dragging moves them, and with Ctrl and the mouse wheel you zoom. Above, you switch between cloud and columns and between the newest and the most-cited judgments.

All recordings use fictional sample data – no real cases, people or file numbers. AI output can contain errors and does not replace legal advice.
