A model representing a high level management facility is developed through the examination of both the heuristics of legal practice and jurisprudential principles. The model employs a lexicon of entities sufficient to the description of all objects and concepts in the attorney's problem domain ranging from legal concepts and evidentiary data to the research work product on which institutional memory depends. A related lexicon of linkages necessary to the establishment and maintenance of heuristic relationships among entities is also developed. While implementation independent, the high-level schema of entities and relationships developed in the study is illustratively mapped to the relational database data structures. |
