The vast number of legal documents that are publicly available and the development of text analysis methods presents new opportunities for studying judicial politics. Quantitative assessments of court filings, laws, and judicial decisions allow for new insights into how legal actors strategize and make decisions. This panel aims to understand opportunities and challenges in using (quantitative) text analysis to advance our knowledge of judicial processes. We invite papers that look at the following questions: How do legal authorities write legal text? To what degree do legal institutions refer to each other? What consequences does the word-usage in legal documents have? How do court decisions influence legislation and the drafting of laws?
