Description: Textual analysis and eDiscovery processes are increasingly being used in the legal domain to consider large databases of information and to extract material that can be used to support hypotheses in individual disputes. In this article, an exploratory study reporting on how these types of processes can be used with big data justice sets (publicly reported cases in New South Wales and Victoria) suggests that the processes may have utility in the context of discovering more about why some disputes are more likely to be determined by a judge. Additional data sets and more conventional research approaches could assist to formulate referral indicia and although raw findings suggest some correlation between some factors that are present in litigated cases and suggests that textual analysis has considerable promise as one supportive research methodology.
