An initial semantic substrate is applied to a court case data set, where nodes are court cases and links are citations from one case to another. Nodes are grouped into regions using the venue node attribute with 'Supreme', 'Circuit', and 'District' values, while they are placed using year along the x-axis and circuitNo along the y-axis (except the Supreme Court cases), indicating the hierarchy of court cases in the legal system. Enabling links within Circuit and District regions shows a tendency for courts to cite within their circuit.
