Identifying Draft Bills Impacting Existing Legislation: a Case Study on Romanian

Corina Ceausu, Sergiu Nisioi

Abstract: In our paper, we present a novel corpus of historical legal documents on the Romanian public procurement legislation and an annotated subset of draft bills that have been screened by legal experts and identified as impacting past public procurement legislation. Using the manual annotations provided by the experts, we attempt to automatically identify future draft bills that have the potential to impact existing policies on public procurement.
