> just letting you know about a couple of research projects we are working on at the moment, aimed to foster transparency and enable better analysis of the justice system. Both are non-profit and open to everyone interested, please feel free to get in touch if you would like to get involved, i.e. by advocating and spreading the word, providing legal expertise, coding, or any other way. 
> The first one is the Open Law Index: a collaborative effort to assess the degree of openness and transparency of courts and tribunals, while promoting the publication of all law materials in linked open data standards. This is being undertaken with the support of the Open Knowledge Foundation, and the contribution of legal scholars, law practitioners and citizen scientists worldwide.
> The second one is Neocodex, with the support of the Open Science Data Cloud (Open Cloud Consortium: Yahoo!, Intel, Cisco,...), DEX graph database and Linkurious SAS. In this case we are developing open source technology to create, visualize and analyze a structural graph covering all international courts and national jurisdictions — including the extraction, analysis and visualization of social and semantic networks, and the publication of corpus collections with added meta-data.
> Please also consider donating to our ongoing crowd-funding campaign, every contribution is much appreciated. In a nation of laws, everyone is presumed to know the law of the land. It concerns us all. That's why we believe law should be freely accessible, along with the necessary technology to help make better sense of it, enable deeper scrutiny, and facilitate comprehensive analysis of entire jurisdictions -a task of paramount importance to facilitate the betterment of justice systems. Many thanks for your attention. Looking forward to hear from you.
