JurisRank — Argentine Jurisprudential Authority Analysis
What JurisRank Is
JurisRank is a computational tool for measuring the authority of Argentine
court decisions through citation network analysis. Its methodology is
peer-reviewed and published in the Journal of Computational Law and
Legal Technology:
Lerer, I.A. (2026). "Computational Detection of Constitutional Drift:
Network Analysis and Semantic Measurement of Argentine Supreme Court
Jurisprudence (1922–2025)." Journal of Computational Law and Legal
Technology. DOI: 10.47852/bonviewJCLLT62027951

Three Algorithms
| Algorithm | Purpose |
|---|
| JurisRank | PageRank + temporal decay — recent citations weighted higher |
| RootFinder | Ancestral Borrowing Analysis Network — traces doctrinal genealogy |
| Legal-Memespace | Principal Component Analysis — maps multidimensional doctrine |
Coverage
- Argentine Supreme Court (CSJN) — 1922 to present
- National and federal courts of appeals (Cámaras nacionales y federales)
- Selected provincial supreme courts
- Relevant international precedents cited by Argentine courts
Authority Score Interpretation
| Score | Meaning | Recommendation |
|---|
| > 0.8 | Leading case — highest citation authority | Cite first, with score |
| 0.6–0.8 | Widely cited — strong precedential weight | Cite with score |
| 0.4–0.6 | Relevant — moderate authority | Cite with note |
| < 0.4 | Limited authority — outlier or isolated | Orientation only |
| Not found | No network presence detected | Declare absence of precedent |
Use Cases
