The VLCG team has just launched the Corpus of Historical English Law Reports 1535-1999 (CHELAR)

The Corpus of Historical English Law Reports (CHELAR) is a specialised corpus consisting of law reports and judicial decisions dating from the period 1535–1999. It enables researchers to investigate a legal text type which is not included in any other diachronic corpus existing to date – apart from ARCHER 3.2, also compiled by the VLCG team as part of their work for the ARCHER Consortium.

CHELAR is available as plain text and with POS annotation (CLAWS-7; LancasterUniversity). It is currently also being annotated following the TEI XML guidelines.

For more information and conditions of access, visit the entry for CHELAR in CoRD (Corpus Resource Database at VARIENG, Helsinki).
