Predicting legal proceedings status

Year: 2021
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: The objective of this work, which is fully given by Polo et al. [8], is to develop predictive models to classify Brazilian legal proceedings in three possible classes of legal status: (i) archived proceedings, (ii) active proceedings, and (iii) suspended proceedings. Each proceeding is made up of a chronological sequence of short texts called "motions" written by the courts' administrative staff. The motions relate to the proceedings, but not necessarily to their legal status. Moreover, the proceedings' labels are decided by the courts to organize their workflow. This problem's resolution is intended to assist public and private institutions in managing large portfolios of legal proceedings, providing gains in scale and efficiency.
