Analyzing the logical structure of a sentence is important for understanding natural language. In this paper, we present a task of Recognition of Requisite Part and Effectuation Part in Law Sentences, or RRE task for short, which is studied in research on Legal Engineering. The goal of this task is to recognize the structure of a law sentence. We investigate the RRE task regarding both the linguistic features and problem modeling aspects. We also propose solutions and present experimental results in a Japanese legal text domain. We got 88.58% with a supervised learning model and 88.84% with a semi-supervised learning model in the Fβ=1 score on the Japanese National Pension Law corpus.
