Abstrakt: Incessant delays in the administration of justice in land disputes cases caused by inability to access similar cases often lead people to take laws into their own hands, resulting in wanton destruction of lives and property. In this study, three similarity models, namely: cosine, Jaccard, and text semantic similarity (TSS) and fuzzy logic technology were reviewed and applied to 205 settled cases of land disputes collected from the high court of justice in Ikot Ekpene, Nigeria. Our study revealed that the cosine similarity measure had the strongest correlation, (72%) followed by Jaccard (70%), fuzzy logic (70%) and TSS (63%). Considering this, we recommend fuzzy logic combined with cosine for the building of a legal case-based reasoning system.
