Historical data mining the Supreme Court headnotes

 Two weeks ago, I posted a pair of very rough working papers.  The second of these, Exploring Relationships between Legal Concepts in the United States Supreme Court, opens up a number of interesting "historical data mining" techniques.  I thought I'd go over an example of this today to demonstrate the usefulness of the approach.   First,

Slides from my talk at the University of Houston, Law and Computation Workshop – Law ? Computation

I've uploaded the slides for my talk today at the University of Houston Computational Law Conference. The purpose of the talk, in my own words, is: ...

Two new papers on SSRN: Measuring EU integration through sovereign debt & Exploring relationships between headnotes in the Supreme Court

  What do you do with that unfinished paper?  You know, the one that's 50% there but you don't have the time to finish.  Or maybe it's the one that's 80% there, but you don't want to deal with the inevitable two years of revise-and-resubmit.   This problem gets even harder when you decide to leave academia.  I

#anon member outs himself through Facebook App ID

Oops.  Looks like the #anon member in charge of developing the BoA leak site may have outed himself through the Facebook App ID.   Pull up the source from bankofamericasuck.com and you'll find this: <script>   window.fbAsyncInit = function() {     FB.init({appId: '174193262621648', status: true, cookie: true,              xfbml: true});   };   (function()

A quick look at #march11 / #saudi tweets

Well, so much for that #march11 #Saudi day of rage.  Whether it was really the "tempest in a teacup" that  Prince Al-Waleed suggested on CNBC (video below, transcript here) or not, the oil complex and Saudi markets seem to have shrugged off much of the risk that was priced in after Thursday's rumors of shots.
