For more than two years, we have been working on legal and technical issues concerning the possibility of automatic anonymisation of court decisions as part of a research project with the Bavarian State Ministry of Justice. Our results so far indicate that it seems indeed possible to anonymise court decisions fully automatically. The quality of the anonymisation achieved using automatic techniques offers a level of protection against de-anonymisation that is at least as high as the previous manual anonymisation in the judicial administrations in Germany. Here, we present the results obtained so far and the prototype we developed.
