@fatimacoya @UkNatArchives @johnlsheridan @DLMForum @UkNatArcRes Thank you! These posters are genius . Full credit to the incredible design team who came up with them at UK gov digital. Let's catch up on how we can use these in the archives soon!

@peterkwells @GavinFreeguard @tompope0 @SophieEMetcalfe Also happy to talk at any point about the diversity of research needs I've seen on Find Case Law if that's helpful. DM me :)

[Rose @rosebotanic]

@peterkwells @GavinFreeguard @tompope0 @SophieEMetcalfe Agree! I'd add it's rare that any researcher acts in isolation and it'd be good to recognise the diverse network academics are acting within. If just focusing on academics then should recognise the impact diversity of experience/seniority / universities have on research.

On Monday we held our first Legal Records Jamboree.

It was an inter-disciplinary event, bringing together Legal historians, archivists, friends in licensing, and academics.

Watch @TheGozfather, @David__Foster & @EmmyIrish reflect on the importance of our legal records

AI regulation is the hot button topic. But the UK Gov’s AI White Paper is at best engaging in wishful thinking: a market-driven approach cannot alone deliver socially-useful innovation and fairly distribute risk and benefits. 🧵 https://t.co/DU5kuZvtbb

Local elections take place today

Hendrix and Benji have given us a helping paw to show how easy it is to vote, and what you can expect when you visit a polling station. 🐾 #LocalElections #YourVoteMatters #DogsAtPollingStations

Today marks 1 year since we launched Find Case Law.

Today's blog reflects on our first year of publishing judgments – 4,000 so far and counting.

Today @CFPData publishes a new report on data gaps in criminal justice.

We find many areas where you’d expect there to be basic data, but it’s simply missing.

These gaps vary from how long people are held on remand, to how different courts sentence for the same crimes.

🧵

[Anna Powell-Smith @darkgreener]

Since I started researching gaps in public data back in 2019, I’ve found plenty.

Lots of these gaps look like quite innocent oversights. But sometimes, the data gaps seem suspicious and highly political.

Here’s a thread on a discovery of the suspicious kind. 🧵

[Anna Powell-Smith @darkgreener]

If you’ve never been to prison, you might imagine that everyone there has been convicted. But when people are arrested they can be detained before their court case - this is called Custodial Remand. Some people are held for years like this.

Turns out there's a data story here 🧵

If you're not sure you meet all the criteria apply anyway!

PhD opportunity

Lost for words: semantic search in the Find Case Law service of the National Archives.https://t.co/E3etpTybkP

[Rose @rosebotanic]

The National Archives are partnering with Kings College London and Royal Holloway on a collaborative doctoral award to research and analyse the language used in UK judgments, and experiment with semantic search for case law . Please share with any students who might be interested

@blangry Just checking you know it's gardening metaphors in all those data blog posts right? Not actual gardening ;)

Looking for an authoritative list of state (government, courts, parliament) user groups... Easy to find individual ones scattered across various websites but not in one place...

@blangry Hopefully we can all fit round a table for a legally defined dinner party ;)
