Dear all

Does anyone know of the existence of any corpora which are made up
partly or entirely of legal texts?

By 'legal texts' I mean:
court proceedings;
police interviews;
contracts;
acts;
information about legal procedures;
statements.....

In fact at this stage it would be great to hear about any
corpus which consist, in whole or part, of any written or spoken
language which has been taken from any setting which is within or
allied to policing, law and justice.

I am also keen to hear about any web sites or email lists which you
may have come across which might be relevant to the same broadly
defined area.

I look forward to hearing from you.
