Research map

The research map: norms, decisions and their citations at a glance

For a question, Klaracase shows the relevant norms, the decisions that rely on them and the citations between those decisions. Every entry leads to its source. Below you see the real map for example questions that we measured once.

Example

A real map to try

Switch the view, select a decision or a norm, and follow the citations. The map is a saved snapshot.

Question

Wann ist eine Kündigung wegen Eigenbedarfs rechtsmissbräuchlich?

Norms on the left, grouped by statute; decisions by year and court level. Lines show which decision cites which norm.

English translation of the question (the map itself stays German): When is a termination for the landlord's own use an abuse of right?

Real map, measured on 13 October 2026. The map shows 21 norms and 40 decisions.

Five views of the same data

Each view serves a different reading task. Pick one to show it on the map above.

What the map shows

What the map shows and what it does not

The map shows sources. All text and details come from the statutes and decisions themselves.

The map shows

the norms found for the question, with the wording of the statute
the decisions that rely on these norms, with court, date, docket number, outcome and headnote
the citations between decisions, where one decision cites another
a marker when a later decision quashed a decision and the corpus records it

The map does not show

all decisions on the topic: the map is an excerpt from the Klaracase corpus
whether a decision without a marker still holds: a missing marker says nothing about it
text written by a model: everything on the map comes from statute and decision
legal advice: the map shows sources, not an assessment of your case

The figures in the demo count what is on this map, not the whole corpus.
