Modelling Cause and Effect in Legal Text

Causative relations in the Palsgraf v. Long Island Railway Co.(1928) 248 N.Y. 339; 162 N.E. 99. case are analysed using John Sowa's conceptual graphs (cgs) and Harold Somers's cases in order to contribute to our knowledge of conceptual relations for use in knowledge representation. The model of causative relations is intended to be adapted for use in other domains using cgs. Our long-term goal is to facilitate automatic extraction of knowledge for intelligent systems retrieving legal information.
