Share of articles classified under justice

Share of articles carrying at least one of NIKH's six justice classes (impeachment, punishment, trials, policing, legislation, general), by decade and reign.

23.5%of principal-edition articles classified under justice
Key point

The share of justice articles tracks the intensity of political trials, not routine litigation. Any attempt to measure Joseon's judicial caseload from the Sillok must first explain these peaks.

Formula
Justice-classified articles / all articles (principal editions)
How to read it
Peaks (1490s–1500s, 1610s at 47%, 1720s–30s) coincide with purges and factional trials: the share tracks political prosecutions more than ordinary litigation.
Caveats
Classification is by modern editors and varies in granularity; sub-classes are not compared across periods.
