“…However, due to the fact that certain legal papers are private by their very nature or produced inside institutional frameworks, there may be issues with the accessibility of legal materials. There are several studies about current legal corpora (Goźdź-Roszkowski, 2021;Vogel et al, 2018), and the Sources of Language and Law (SOULL, 2020) 2 , an open online platform consistently updated to offer a wealth of knowledge on current data and corpora of legal language.…”

“…It quickly became evident that corpus linguistics contributes to many fields such as law which depends on language heavily (Goźdź-Roszkowski, 2021:1515Solan, 2017Solan, :1315. Therefore, corpora and corpus-based translation methodologies are increasingly becoming more integral in translation practice and research since the 1990s (see Baker et.al.,1993;Baker, 1995Baker, , 2019.…”

Building the Leeds Monolingual and Parallel Legal Corpora of Arabic and English Countries’ Constitutions: Methods, Challenges and Solutions

Arabic corpora have existed since the last decade of the past century. Although they are constantly increasing, more advanced tools and morpho-syntactically annotated Arabic corpora are still needed for research and teaching. Likewise, parallel and specialised corpora are rare despite the growing need to use them in empirical linguistic investigations of authentic Arabic texts and for language and translation teaching. Therefore, building legal corpora will pave the way for more research in Arabic legal translation, an area which is under-researched worldwide. This paper aims to discuss the building of a collection of specialised parallel and monolingual legal corpora. In particular, it will discuss the building of diachronic corpora, which include all available constitutions of 22 Arabic countries. The aim of building all available versions of these constitutions is two-fold: (1) interdisciplinary corpus-based and socio-cultural investigations and (2) research-led and blended-learning pedagogical approaches to translation teaching and learning. Thus, these corpora are of great value to translation trainers and researchers, law academics and professionals, and governmental, non-governmental and international organisations. The paper will demonstrate the process of building these specialised complex corpora and the challenges encountered throughout this process. Among the challenges faced during the data collection and processing phases are (1) limitations of finding the original constitutions for each Arabic country since some of them date back to 1922; (2) file conversion and the difficulty of choosing one Optical Character Recognition (OCR) tool to rely on for the Arabic language since many lack accuracy, efficiency as well as encoding issues in Arabic.

ANALISIS WACANA KRITIS KEPUTUSAN BERSAMA TENTANG PEDOMAN IMPLEMENTASI ATAS PASAL TERTENTU DALAM UNDANG-UNDANG INFORMASI DAN TRANSAKSI ELEKTRONIK (UU ITE) (Critical Discourse Analysis of Joint Decisions on Implementation Guidelines on Certain Articles in the Law on Electronic Information and Transaction) (Ite Law)

The Joint Decree on Implementation Guidelines for Certain Articles in the ITE Law, signed by the Minister of Communication and Informatics, the Chief of Police and the Attorney General, is an attempt by the government to minimize multiple interpretations of articles in the ITE Law. This study aims to express the charge ideology of The Decision with Guidelines for The Implementation of Law ITE and the implications of applying The Joint Decree. The data of this research is a document of the Joint Decree on Guidelines for the Implementation of the ITE Law, which contains explanations of terms in the articles on hate speech, insults, defamation, threats, racism/discrimination, and the spread of immoral content (articles 27, 28, 29). The data is downloaded from the official website of the Indonesian Supreme Court. This research is a critical discourse analysis research with the Fairclough CDA model. Based on the analysis results, the discourse on the Joint Decree has an ideology of legal clarity and equality for all people. Analysis of the dimensions of discourse practice shows that the principles of clarity and legal equality still need to be adequately embodied in the articles of the ITE Law so that the Joint Decree needs to be issued. The provision of clarification on articles certainly indicates the need for more unified perceptions between law enforcement in interpreting articles in Law ITE. This Joint Decree also has the potential for not being punished for someone who commits an act that harms other parties and even triggers racist/discrimination conflicts.

“…While the sheer volume and complexity of Arabic legal texts pose significant obstacles to automated processing, the potential benefits of harnessing this rich resource are transformative. AI systems equipped with the ability to extract legal information from Arabic texts effectively could revolutionize legal research, case-based reasoning, and other AI-powered legal applications [1].…”

The efficient organization of diverse disorder cases within a unified memory necessitates an adaptable representation. This study introduces an ontology-based approach for extracting facts from Moroccan legal cases. Leveraging ontological frameworks, a comprehensive case architecture is established, enabling advanced information extraction. Utilizing rules, patterns, and knowledge modeling harmonizes cases and identifies pervasive legal concepts. Statistical techniques unveil latent entities within complex legal textual discourse. Empirical validation demonstrates proficiency, extracting up to 25 regular entities. The rule-based mechanism achieves an F1-score of 99.5%, highlighting precision, while the statistical extractor achieves an 88.3% F1-score, revealing concealed entities. This work presents an innovative ontology-based paradigm for legal information extraction, contributing to advanced knowledge management in the legal domain.
