Resumo(s)
The Portuguese judicial system is based on the German juridical system and is one of the only
jurisdictions where it is common for judges to cite academic works. Given the importance of a non biased juridical system, this paper aims to examine the Supreme Court rulings documented in the
legal database to extensively analyze these documents to study author citations while also shedding
light on the use of legal scholarship by judges. This database collects over 60000 legal case
decisions solved by the Portuguese Supreme Court (“Supremo Tribunal de Justiça”). It enables us
to identify the authors referenced in court, check the connections between the citations and the
judges, and draw inferences using diverse Data Analytics and Network Graph tools and techniques.
