The legal publication culture is marked by a strong change; besides real-time availability a focus on a «virtual discussion process» is another characteristic. The document types are becoming more and more diverse. It requires consideration of bibliographic information, metadata, authority labelling of the author, the temporal context and the citation network in order to achieve a user-oriented sorting of results of a legal retrieval system, focussed on a particular legal question. This speech presents a theoretical model that will be implemented in the future, also by integrating existing instruments.
