Legal judgements are complex in nature and contain citations of other judgements. Research efforts are going on to develop methods for efficient search of relevant legal information by extending the popular approaches used in information retrieval and web searching research areas. In the literature, it was shown that it is possible to find similar judgements by exploiting citations or links. In this paper, an approach has been has been proposed using the notion of “paragraph-link” to improve the efficiency of link-based similarity method. The experiments on real-world data set and user evaluation study show the encouraging results.
