• Analyze dates and relative age of cited authorities (see first proposal here)
• Consider if there are meaningful measures of judicial influence from "author" or "judge" tables in CAP--pull judge from list of most cited cases? or try to track counts to particular judges like Lemuel Shaw, James Kent, Joseph Story?
• Take Wheeler, Practical Law of Slavery (F0105347590): Where else do the cited cases show up? Are they all "property" cases or what other "genre" do they emerge in?

I will flesh it out after other writing deadlines on 2/17.

Another obvious thing to do:

• Create a co-citation network of cases as seen from the treatises.

[lmullen]

• Create bibliographic coupling network of treatises as linked by the cases they cite

Suggested plan to proceed:

Update whitelist (#81)
Update single-volume library and regexes (#69)
Import English Reports database (#42)
Import Code Reporter database (#80)
Re-run detection and linking process over MOML, with linking to new databases
Run detection and linking process over CAP (#74)
Update paper visualizations with the new citational databases
Attempt coupling/co-citation ideas above and/or canon-cloud idea from #66

[lmullen]

Suggested plan to proceed:

• Update whitelist (Whitelist the top reporters #81)
• Rerun linking over MOML
• Work on analysis of textbooks
• Updates to paper visualizations/tables as needed
• Update single-volume library and regexes (Add newly discovered single-volume reporters #69)
• Import English Reports database (Reconcile English/British/foreign citations #42)
• Import Code Reporter database (Create table for the Code Reporter #80)
• Re-run detection and linking process over MOML, with linking to new databases
• Update paper visualizations with the new citational databases
• Attempt coupling/co-citation ideas above and/or canon-cloud idea from Analytical ideas #66
• Run detection and linking process over CAP (Detect citations in CAP #74)

Just putting the updates hitlist here for simplicity:

• Add smoothed curve of age of cases cited in cases
• Add histogram of age of cases cited in treatises
• Standardize y-axis on top ten case cite counts (axis of 0 to 20)
• Update second paragraph count of unique cases cited (currently 326,000)
