How categorisation works
Each article receives the legal category that best describes its principal analytical question. Cross-cutting subjects may appear through related categories, jurisdictions, courts, statutes, series and search metadata. Categories are editorial research pathways, not statements about a court’s formal subject-matter classification.
Category questions
Why is an article not listed in every relevant category?
Over-classification makes archives less useful. Editors assign the principal category and use related metadata and links for secondary connections.
Can categories change?
Yes. The taxonomy may evolve as the archive grows, but existing URLs and research continuity should be preserved wherever possible.
