A legal knowledge graph applies graph structure to litigation content, representing parties, witnesses, providers, claims, defenses, documents, and events, and the relationships among them such as who testified about what and which record supports which assertion.
It requires an ontology defining the entity and relationship types that matter in the relevant practice area.

Why it Matters?
A general-purpose graph built from litigation documents produces connections that are technically accurate and practically useless. The value comes from an ontology that encodes what litigators actually care about: whether a fact is disputed, which witness is the source, what document supports it, and how it bears on an element of a claim. That domain modeling, not the graph technology, is the hard part.
