Abstract

The article discusses the structure and effectiveness of "The Citation Identifier," an operational computer program for automatic identification of case citations in legal literature. The Citation Identifier scanned the full texts of 191 randomly selected decisions of U.S. Court of Appeals and located correctly 2,220 full-form citations out of a total of 2,227. The Citation Identifier operates rather rapidly. In a recent test run, the total time required to process some 400,000 running words of text was approximately 151/2 minutes. This speed could be further increased by suitable changes in the computer program.
