Resum	Legal judgment prediction is a machine learning approach that forecasts court decisions and judicial outcomes based on case features, legal precedent, and judicial characteristics. Pioneered by Daniel Katz and colleagues in 2017 with their celebrated U.S. Supreme Court prediction model, this method applies supervised learning to large datasets of digitized court decisions to identify patterns in how judges decide cases. Legal judgment prediction has since expanded to appellate courts, trial courts, and international tribunals, enabling legal professionals to anticipate case outcomes and make strategic litigation decisions.	Network analysis of case law applies graph-theoretic and network science methods to study the structure and dynamics of legal precedent systems. Developed systematically by James Fowler and colleagues in 2011, this method treats legal citations as directed edges in a network where nodes represent court decisions and edges represent precedent relationships. By analyzing the topology of these networks, researchers uncover patterns in how law evolves, which precedents are most influential, and how legal doctrine spreads across jurisdictions.
