We apply a thesaurus-based technique to find specific legal situations. It appears that statistical measures of term relevance are not sufficient, but that explicit knowledge about specific formulations used in law and case law are required to distinguish relevant case law from irrelevant. In addition, we found out that the retrieving legal concepts with an &amp;#39;interpretive&amp;#39; character requires a different method than concepts do not require additional interpretation.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
