SUMMARY:ILSP Lunch Talk :: Research Methods: Studying Court Narratives through Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing
DESCRIPTION:Sharon Tai\, SHARIAsource Deputy Editor and Ali Hashmi\, former MIT Media Lab Fellow\, use natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning techniques to build a taxonomy of entities for SHARIAsource’s collection of cases of Islamic law in U.S. Courts\, including cases of family law and religious accommodation. From there\, comparison of state courts with overall federal courts using computational text analysis methods allows for insights into whether there is consistency of themes and considerations between lower and upper court decisions. This can allow researchers to identify spots of bias\, sentiment\, and missing considerations that become future questions about the narrative created by U.S. Courts in dealing with Islamic law. Details.

SUMMARY:ILSP Lunch Talk: A History Without Gaps: Legal Maxims and the Evolution of Islamic Law
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Mariam Sheibani\, PhD Candidate\, University of Chicago  \nThe emergence and functions of legal maxims in Islamic law remains an understudied field in Islamic legal history. Scholars have noted early interest in maxims in the tenth and eleventh centuries\, followed by a period of dormancy prior to the eruption of maxim treatises in the fourteenth century. This has led some scholars to speak of a period of stagnation of the genre during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. I closely study the terminological and conceptual evolution of maxims in Shāfiʿī legal literature from the founding of the school in the ninth century to the emergence of maxim treatises in the fourteenth century. Examining this evolution not only provides a history of maxims without gaps\, but it also offers unexpected insights about the significant role of maxims in negotiating jurists’ competing visions of the law\, in the consolidation of the legal schools and in legal practice inside and outside the courts.

SUMMARY:ILSP LUNCH TALK :: THE M WORD: LEGAL CONSTRUCTIONS OF MUSLIM IDENTITY IN THE U.S.
DESCRIPTION:Seval Yildirim\, Visiting Researcher\, ILSP: SHARIAsource\, Harvard Law School\nProfessor Yildirim will discuss her work-in-progress exploring the legal construction of Muslim identity through a study of U.S. court cases dating back to the 19th century. The paper identifies three distinct typologies of how courts have defined Muslim identity and the broader political and normative implications of legal construction of minority identities in the United States.

SUMMARY:ILSP LUNCH TALK :: RESURRECTING THE ANCIENT JURISTS IN PRINT
DESCRIPTION:Ahmed El Shamsy\, Visiting Fellow\, ILSP: SHARIAsource\, Harvard Law School\nThe publication of al-Shāfiʿī’s (d. 204/820) multivolume magnum opus\, al-Umm\, in 1903-7 opened a window into early Islamic legal thought and provided the basis for all subsequent historiography of Islamic law. However\, the work’s publication was anything but inevitable: though it is today considered a seminal text\, in the late nineteenth century the Umm\, like the writings of most other early jurists\, languished in obscurity. Examining how and why the Umm was published thus offers surprising insights into the state of Islamic legal literature in the early twentieth century and its relationship to its long history.
