Additional Entity Types & Models #7
Description
The prototype Blackstone model, en_blackstone_proto, was trained to detect six entity types that apply generally across legal texts (in the sense that they're not specific to any legal sub-discipline, such as criminal law, company law etc).
If you have any ideas for additional entity types that we should consider adding to future models, this is the place to add them.
Preferred method for setting out your ideas

For example, if you're submitting an idea for a new entity type that you think would apply generally across legal text (i.e. something that is not specific to any sub-discipline of law) you're comment should look like this:

EXAMPLE: On the other indictment (T20180081) there were included three counts of having an article with a blade or point, contrary to section 139(1) of the Criminal Justice Act 1988.
