Abstract
In this paper, we present some aspects of a cooperative web information retrieval system in the law domain. Our system is able to infer the user intentions and to keep the context of the user interaction in order to supply suggestions for further refinement of the user query. One important aspect of our system is its ability to compute clusters of documents associating a keyword to each cluster. A detailed example of an interaction with the system is presented.
