Abstract

Reports on a research project aimed at constructing a thesaurus to be used for indexing materials in the area of law. it was observed that despite the importance of specialized controlled vocabularies, none has been made for law. In the project, terms used by practitioners and those in literature were compared to produce a balanced thesaurus. 1000 terms were selected from the literature of law and sent to 60 law experts for their comments and suggestions. Analysis was then carried out using the student t-test statistic. It was observed that there was no significant difference between the terms used by the lawyers and those in law literature
