Abstract
This article describes the creation of several domain maps based on the topic space of opinions issued by the United States Supreme Court. Topics assigned by West Publishing were harvested off of the Westlaw database and visualized using Principal Components Analysis (PCA), Multidimensional Scaling (MDS), and graph visualization software (Pajek). Peculiar topic adjacencies were noted and attributed to the unique nature of cases argued at the level of the United States Supreme Court. The work is contextualized throughout by the author's desire to create a rigorous base map on which to layer additional data for teaching purposes.
