This is interesting. I hope they are developing a standardized format (XML?) in which all local courts could publish their records. Rolling out such a system would be difficult.

XML? It's not very hard to parse texts for the necessarily present section titles. Codification of legalese and logical formulas on the other hand would not really be facilitated by xml, unless I miss something because I never used it.
