Scanning seeks to identify issues and trends as evidenced in published material. These, for example, can be speeches by experts, items in newspapers, scholarly journal articles, magazine editorial pieces as well as interviews of leading jurists and administrators. Scanning is both volume driven, seeking to focus on issues wherein there is a great deal of mention (as with ADR) as well as leading indicator driven (searching for new issues of which there is only marginal support in the literature – the cyber judge, for example). Scanning as well seeks to understand which issues are located in the current paradigm and which issues challenge the current paradigm, and which issues are outside current understandings of law and jurisprudence (outside the doxa). Scanning requires an understanding of the micro dimensions of a particular field as well as the macro big picture.
