Abstract: We analyze a corpus of 100,000 judicial decisions in the Spanish judicial system, with a focus on the scope of housing. Using topic modeling and information theory, we are able to reveal disrupting topics and periods, and to interpret them in terms of the role played by legislative changes, landmark decisions, and the influence of social movements.
