This awesome visualization by @abdurrahmanbutler tracks how reliant the High Court of Australia has been on UK precedents over time.
Back in the early 1900s, up to 70% of citations in High Court decisions were from the UK. Today, that number sits around 20%.
This change seems to have happened gradually as Australia gained more and more independence from the UK, culminating in the Australia Acts of 1986, where we see a nice bump in the proportion of Australian cases cited.
These insights would not be possible without our latest legal AI model, Kanon 2 Enricher, which we used to extract dates and citations from High Court decisions in isaacus/open-australian-legal-corpus and categorize citations by jurisdiction.
