Context:
Cheshire Appeal Will Point to Twitter There were half a dozen of them typing away in the courtroom rows. Minute by minute, they sent out reports of gruesome testimony via Twitter. In the end, the defense says, there were more than 140,000 Twitter messages about the trial that dealt with rape and children tied to their beds in a house that was set ablaze. On Thursday, the widely followed trial of Steven J. Hayes, who was convicted of killing three members of a Cheshire, Conn., family, is set to come to an official end with the judge's imposition of the death sentence voted for by the jury. But lawyers for Mr. Hayes have already made court filings that sketch out appeals arguments that are likely to occupy the <t>courts</t> for years. One of the most provocative is that the intense reporting on the trial - including mainstream reporters' extensive use of Twitter - created a "circus atmosphere" and such widespread, instant saturation with inflammatory details that the jury was improperly swayed by public passions.

    *   Surrounding context: Legal trial, judge, jury, death sentence, appeals arguments, court filings.

    *   Sense 1: `an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business` (tribunal, judicature)
    *   Sense 2: `a room in which a lawcourt sits` (courtroom)
    *   Sense 3: `the sovereign and his advisers who are the governing power of a state` (royal court)

    *   Sense 10: `an area wholly or partly surrounded by walls or buildings` (courtyard)
    *   Sense 11: `respectful deference` (homage)

    *   The sentence says "appeals arguments that are likely to occupy the courts for years."
    *   This refers to the legal system/institutions that handle appeals.
    *   Sense 1 (assembly/judicature) and Sense 8 (tribunal/lawcourt) are the closest.
    *   Sense 8 ("a tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate or by one or more judges who administer justice according to the laws") is the standard definition for a "court of law."
    *   Sense 1 ("an assembly... to conduct judicial business") is very similar.
    *   Let's compare Sense 1 and Sense 8.
        *   Sense 1: `an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business` (synonyms: tribunal, judicature).
        *   Sense 8: `a tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate or by one or more judges who administer justice according to the laws` (synonyms: lawcourt, court of law, court of justice).
    *   In the context of "occupy the courts for years," it refers to the legal institutions/entities (lawcourts) that will hear the appeals. Sense 8 is the most precise definition for the institution of the court of law.

    *   Sense 2 is the physical room (courtroom). The arguments won't occupy the physical room for years, but rather the legal process/institution.
    *   Sense 8 is the most fitting for the legal entity/institution.

    *   Sense 1: assembly/judicature.
    *   Sense 8: tribunal/lawcourt.
    *   Usually, "the courts" (plural) refers to the judicial system or the various lawcourts. Sense 8 fits "lawcourt" perfectly.

    *   Sense 8: `a tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate or by one or more judges who administer justice according to the laws` (synonyms: lawcourt, court of law, court of justice).
    *   This matches the context of appeals arguments occupying the legal system.

Target lemma: detail
Target surface form: details
Context:
There were half a dozen of them typing away in the courtroom rows. Minute by minute, they sent out reports of gruesome testimony via Twitter. In the end, the defense says, there were more than 140,000 Twitter messages about the trial that dealt with rape and children tied to their beds in a house that was set ablaze. On Thursday, the widely followed trial of Steven J. Hayes, who was convicted of killing three members of a Cheshire, Conn., family, is set to come to an official end with the judge's imposition of the death sentence voted for by the jury. But lawyers for Mr. Hayes have already made court filings that sketch out appeals arguments that are likely to occupy the courts for years. One of the most provocative is that the intense reporting on the trial - including mainstream reporters' extensive use of Twitter - created a "circus atmosphere" and such widespread, instant saturation with inflammatory <t>details</t> that the jury was improperly swayed by public passions. The claim could force appeals judges to grapple with the question of whether new technology requires new courtroom rules.

*   Target lemma: `detail`
    *   Target surface form: `details`
    *   Context: "...such widespread, instant saturation with inflammatory <t>details</t> that the jury was improperly swayed by public passions."
    *   Candidate senses:
        1.  `detail%1:09:00::`: an isolated fact that is considered separately from the whole (synonyms: item, point)
        2.  `detail%1:24:00::`: a small part that can be considered separately from the whole (synonyms: particular, item)
        3.  `detail%1:10:00::`: extended treatment of particulars
        4.  `detail%1:14:01::`: a crew of workers selected for a particular task
        5.  `detail%1:14:00::`: a temporary military unit

    *   The sentence refers to "inflammatory details" of a trial (rape, children tied to beds, house set ablaze).
    *   These "details" are specific facts or pieces of information about the crime.
    *   The word "details" is plural here ("inflammatory details").

    *   Sense 1: "an isolated fact that is considered separately from the whole" (item, point). This fits well. The "inflammatory details" are specific, gruesome facts about the case.
    *   Sense 2: "a small part that can be considered separately from the whole" (particular, item). This is very similar to Sense 1, but "fact" (Sense 1) is a better fit for information in a trial than "part" (Sense 2).
    *   Sense 3: "extended treatment of particulars". This is usually uncountable (e.g., "too much detail"). The context uses "details" (plural), which doesn't fit this sense.
    *   Sense 4: "a crew of workers". Not applicable.
    *   Sense 5: "a temporary military unit". Not applicable.

    *   Sense 1: "an isolated fact that is considered separately from the whole"
    *   Sense 2: "a small part that can be considered separately from the whole"
    *   In the context of "inflammatory details" of a crime, we are talking about specific facts (the rape, the tying up, the fire). Sense 1 specifically mentions "fact" and "point of information". Sense 2 is more general ("small part").

    *   "inflammatory details" -> inflammatory facts/points of information.
    *   Sense 1: "an isolated fact that is considered separately from the whole"
    *   Sense 2: "a small part that can be considered separately from the whole"
    *   Comparing the two, Sense 1 is the standard meaning for "details" when referring to information or facts in a report or trial.

    *   Sense 1: `detail%1:09:00::`
    *   Sense 2: `detail%1:24:00::`
    *   Sense 3: `detail%1:10:00::`
    *   Sense 4: `detail%1:14:01::`
    *   Sense 5: `detail%1:14:00::`

    The target is "details" (plural). Sense 1 fits best.

    *   Sense 3: "something that is desired intensely" (synonym: rage; example: "his rage for fame destroyed him")

    *   Sense 7: "the suffering of Jesus at the Crucifixion"

    *   The phrase "public passions" in the context of a trial and a "circus atmosphere" refers to the strong emotions (anger, outrage, excitement) felt by the general public.
    *   Sense 1 ("a strong feeling or emotion") fits perfectly.
    *   Sense 2 ("the trait of being intensely emotional") describes a personality trait, not the collective emotions of a public.
    *   Sense 3 ("something that is desired intensely") doesn't fit; the public isn't "desiring" the trial in that way, they are reacting emotionally.
    *   Sense 4 ("an irrational but irresistible motive") is close, but "public passions" usually refers to the emotions themselves rather than a specific motive.
    *   Sense 5 (sexual desire) is incorrect.
    *   Sense 6 (object of affection) is incorrect.
    *   Sense 7 (Jesus) is incorrect.

    *   "Public passions" is a common collocation meaning the strong emotions of the people.
    *   Sense 1: "a strong feeling or emotion". This is the most general and accurate description of the emotions (outrage, etc.) that would sway a jury.

The sentence says, "The <t>claim</t> could force appeals judges to grapple with the question of whether new technology requires new courtroom rules."
    *   Meaning of "claim" here: The assertion made by the defense lawyers that the trial was unfair due to the "circus atmosphere."

    *   Sense 1: `claim%1:10:00::` - an assertion of a right (as to money or property). (Incorrect: This is about money/property).
    *   Sense 2: `claim%1:10:02::` - an assertion that something is true or factual. (Correct: The defense is asserting that the trial was unfair/swayed by public passions).
    *   Sense 3: `claim%1:04:00::` - demand for something as rightful or due. (Incorrect: This is a demand, like a shorter work day).

    *   The defense lawyers made "court filings that sketch out appeals arguments."
    *   One argument is that the reporting created a "circus atmosphere" and the jury was "improperly swayed."
    *   "The claim" refers back to this specific argument/assertion.
    *   This matches Sense 2: "an assertion that something is true or factual."

    *   Sense 1: Money/Property.
    *   Sense 2: Assertion of fact.
    *   Sense 3: Demand for right.
    *   Sense 4: Informal right.
    *   Sense 5: Legal title/right.
    *   Sense 6: Call of duty.

    *   Context: "the question of whether new technology requires new courtroom rules".
    *   This matches perfectly. The "question" is the legal issue/subject matter being debated.

Target lemma: rule

Context:
Minute by minute, they sent out reports of gruesome testimony via Twitter. In the end, the defense says, there were more than 140,000 Twitter messages about the trial that dealt with rape and children tied to their beds in a house that was set ablaze. On Thursday, the widely followed trial of Steven J. Hayes, who was convicted of killing three members of a Cheshire, Conn., family, is set to come to an official end with the judge's imposition of the death sentence voted for by the jury. But lawyers for Mr. Hayes have already made court filings that sketch out appeals arguments that are likely to occupy the courts for years. One of the most provocative is that the intense reporting on the trial - including mainstream reporters' extensive use of Twitter - created a "circus atmosphere" and such widespread, instant saturation with inflammatory details that the jury was improperly swayed by public passions. The claim could force appeals judges to grapple with the question of whether new technology requires new courtroom <t>rules</t>. "As I experienced it during this trial, I think there's a real danger that the inclusion of new technology in the courtroom is affecting an individual's fair-trial rights," said Thomas J. Ullmann, Mr. Hayes's chief defense lawyer.

    *   Context: "...the question of whether new technology requires new courtroom <t>rules</t>."
    *   Surrounding context: The text discusses a trial, the influence of Twitter on the jury, and the potential for appeals based on the "circus atmosphere." The specific sentence asks if new technology (like Twitter) requires new "courtroom rules."

    *   Sense 1: `rule%1:09:00` - a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior (synonym: regulation).

    *   Sense 12: `rule%1:06:00` - measuring stick (ruler).

    *   The context is "courtroom rules." These are formal regulations or prescriptions that govern how a trial is conducted.
    *   Sense 1 (regulation) and Sense 3 (prescribed guide for conduct or action) are very close.
    *   Let's look closer at Sense 1: "a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior" (synonym: regulation). Example: "short haircuts were the regulation."
    *   Let's look closer at Sense 3: "prescribed guide for conduct or action" (synonym: prescript).
    *   In a legal context, "courtroom rules" are formal, prescribed guides/regulations for conduct.
    *   Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 3: Sense 1 often refers to customary behavior or general regulations. Sense 3 is a "prescribed guide."
    *   Wait, let's re-evaluate Sense 1 vs Sense 3.
        *   Sense 1: "a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior" (regulation).
        *   Sense 3: "prescribed guide for conduct or action" (prescript).
    *   Actually, looking at WordNet's structure (if I recall correctly), `rule%1:09:00` (Sense 1) is often used for general regulations, while `rule%1:10:00` (Sense 3) is more about the specific prescription.
    *   However, "courtroom rules" are essentially regulations.
    *   Let's check Sense 1 again: "a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior | synonyms=regulation".
    *   Let's check Sense 3 again: "prescribed guide for conduct or action | synonyms=prescript".
    *   In many WordNet versions, "regulation" (Sense 1) is the most fitting for formal rules like those in a courtroom.
    *   Let's re-read the context: "whether new technology requires new courtroom rules." This refers to the formal rules of procedure in a court.
    *   Is "regulation" (Sense 1) or "prescript" (Sense 3) better?
    *   "Regulation" usually implies an official rule. "Prescript" is a bit more general.
    *   Let's look at the examples for Sense 1: "it was his rule to take a walk before breakfast; short haircuts were the regulation". The first example is a personal rule, the second is a formal regulation.
    *   Let's look at Sense 3: "prescribed guide for conduct or action".
    *   Actually, in many disambiguation tasks, "rules" in a legal/procedural sense (like "rules of the court") map to the "regulation" sense.

    *   Sense 1: regulation.
    *   Sense 3: prescript.
    *   Sense 8: game/sport rules.
    *   Sense 9: religious rules.
    *   Courtroom rules are formal regulations. Sense 1's synonym "regulation" fits best.

    *Self-Correction:* Let me double-check the difference between `rule%1:09:00` and `rule%1:10:00`.
    `rule%1:09:00` (regulation) - a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior.
    `rule%1:10:00` (prescript) - prescribed guide for conduct or action.
    In legal contexts, "rules of procedure" are prescribed guides. However, "regulation" is also very strong.
    Let's look at the examples again. "short haircuts were the regulation" (Sense 1). This is a formal requirement.
    "prescribed guide for conduct or action" (Sense 3).
    Usually, "courtroom rules" are formal regulations.

    Let's search for "courtroom rules" in a WordNet context. Often, "rules" meaning "regulations" is the intended sense.

    Wait, let me look at Sense 1 again: "a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior".
    And Sense 3: "prescribed guide for conduct or action".
    Courtroom rules are not just "customary"; they are "prescribed" (written laws/procedures).
    This might make Sense 3 a better fit.

    Let's re-examine Sense 1: "a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior | synonyms=regulation".
    Let's re-examine Sense 3: "prescribed guide for conduct or action | synonyms=prescript".

    If I have to choose the *best* one:
    Courtroom rules are formal, written, and mandatory. "Prescribed guide" (Sense 3) sounds slightly more formal and mandatory than "customarily governs" (Sense 1), although "regulation" is a synonym for Sense 1.

    Actually, looking at other WSD datasets (like SemCor), "rules" in the sense of "regulations" often maps to the sense that includes "regulation" as a synonym.

    Let's try to find a distinction.
    Sense 1: regulation (customary or official).
    Sense 3: prescript (prescribed guide).

    In the context of "courtroom rules," these are the "Rules of Civil Procedure" or "Rules of Evidence." These are definitely "prescribed guides for conduct or action."

    Let's look at Sense 1 again. "it was his rule to take a walk before breakfast" (personal habit). "short haircuts were the regulation" (official rule).
    Sense 3: "prescribed guide for conduct or action".

    This is a tough one. Let's think about "regulation" vs "prescript".
    A regulation is often a rule made and maintained by an authority.
    A prescript is an authoritative rule.

    Let's look at the context again: "whether new technology requires new courtroom rules."
    This is about the formal rules governing the courtroom.

    If I search for "rule" in WordNet, `rule%1:09:00` is often the primary sense for "regulation."
    Let's check the synonyms for `rule%1:09:00`: regulation.
    Let's check the synonyms for `rule%1:10:00`: prescript.

    In most legal contexts, "rules" are "regulations."

    Let's double-check Sense 1's definition: "a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior".
    Wait, "customarily" might be the key word. Courtroom rules aren't just customary; they are mandatory.
    But Sense 3 is "prescribed guide for conduct or action". "Prescribed" means laid down as a guide or rule.

    Let's compare:
    1. Customarily governs behavior (Regulation)
    3. Prescribed guide for conduct or action (Prescript)

    "Prescribed" fits "courtroom rules" better than "customarily."

    Let me search for "courtroom rules" and "prescript" vs "regulation".
    Actually, "court rules" are often called "regulations" in a general sense, but they are "prescribed" by the court.

    Let's look at Sense 1 again. "short haircuts were the regulation". This is a mandatory rule. So "customarily" in the definition "a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior" might be used in the sense of "as a matter of course" or "regularly," not necessarily "by custom/tradition."

    Let's re-evaluate Sense 1 vs Sense 3 one more time.
    Sense 1: rule%1:09:00 (regulation)
    Sense 3: rule%1:10:00 (prescript)

    In many WordNet-based tasks, `rule%1:09:00` is the go-to for "regulation/rule."

    Let's try to see if there's any other sense.
    Sense 8: game/sport. (No)
    Sense 9: religious. (No)
    Sense 10: natural phenomenon. (No)
    Sense 11: math. (No)

    So it's between 1 and 3.
    Sense 1: "a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior"
    Sense 3: "prescribed guide for conduct or action"

    If I search for "prescript" in a dictionary, it's "an authoritative rule."
    If I search for "regulation" in a dictionary, it's "a rule or directive made and maintained by an authority."

    "Courtroom rules" are definitely "regulations."

    Let's look at the examples for Sense 1 again: "it was his rule to take a walk before breakfast" (personal) and "short haircuts were the regulation" (official).
    This sense covers both personal habits and official regulations.

    Sense 3: "prescribed guide for conduct or action".

    This is very subtle. Let's go with Sense 1 because "regulation" is a more common synonym for "courtroom rules" than "prescript."

    Wait, I just found a similar example in a WSD dataset where "rules of the game" was Sense 8 and "rules of the road" was Sense 1. "Rules of the road" are regulations. "Courtroom rules" are similar to "rules of the road" in that they are official regulations.

    Let's double-check Sense 1 again.
    Sense 1: rule%1:09:00 | definition=a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior | synonyms=regulation

    Yes, this seems the most plausible.

    *   Context: "courtroom rules"
    *   Sense 1: regulation (covers official rules)
    *   Sense 3: prescript (prescribed guide)
    *   Sense 1 is more general and includes "regulation," which is a perfect fit for "courtroom rules."

    *   The speaker (Thomas J. Ullmann) is talking about the "danger that the inclusion of new technology in the courtroom is affecting an individual's fair-trial rights."
    *   In this context, "danger" refers to the *possibility* or *risk* that something bad (affecting fair-trial rights) might happen.

    *   Sense 1: "the condition of being susceptible to harm or injury". This describes a state of being (e.g., "I am in danger"). The context is not "the inclusion of new technology is in danger," but rather that there is a *risk* associated with it.
    *   Sense 2: "a venture undertaken without regard to possible loss or injury" / "risk, peril". Example: "there was a danger he would do the wrong thing". This fits the usage "there's a real danger that [something bad will happen]".
    *   Sense 3: "a cause of pain or injury or loss". Example: "dangers of traveling by air". While the inclusion of technology is the *cause*, the phrase "there's a real danger that..." usually points to the *risk* or *possibility* of the outcome, rather than the cause itself. However, let's re-evaluate.
    *   Sense 4: "a dangerous place". Clearly incorrect.

    *   "There's a real danger that..." is a common idiom meaning "There is a real risk that...".
    *   Looking at Sense 2: "a venture undertaken without regard to possible loss or injury" (this part of the definition is a bit weird for "risk"), but the synonyms are "risk, peril" and the example is "there was a danger he would do the wrong thing". This matches the structure "there was a danger [that]...".
    *   Looking at Sense 3: "a cause of pain or injury or loss". If the "danger" is the "inclusion of new technology", then it's the cause. But the sentence is "there's a real danger *that* the inclusion... is affecting...". The "danger" here is the *possibility* of the negative outcome.

    *   Sense 2: "a venture undertaken without regard to possible loss or injury" (Wait, this definition seems to describe "taking a danger/risk"). But the synonyms are "risk, peril" and the example "there was a danger he would do the wrong thing" fits perfectly.
    *   Sense 3: "a cause of pain or injury or loss". Example: "dangers of traveling by air".

    Let's compare:
    "There is a danger that X will happen." -> This is a risk/possibility.
    "X is a danger." -> X is a cause of harm.

    In the sentence: "there's a real danger that the inclusion of new technology... is affecting..."
    The "danger" is the risk/possibility.

    Sense 2 synonyms: risk, peril.

        4.  `inclusion%1:04:00::` - the act of including

    *   The sentence is: "...the inclusion of new technology in the courtroom is affecting an individual's fair-trial rights..."
    *   Here, "inclusion" refers to the process or act of bringing new technology into the courtroom environment.

    *   Sense 1: "the state of being included" (This describes the condition of something already being there).
    *   Sense 2: "the relation of comprising something" (This is more about a set containing elements, e.g., "the inclusion of so many ideas in such a short work").
    *   Sense 3: "any small intracellular body" (Completely irrelevant - biological).
    *   Sense 4: "the act of including" (This describes the action of introducing or incorporating something).

    *   Is it the *state* of being included (Sense 1) or the *act* of including (Sense 4)?
    *   "the inclusion of new technology in the courtroom"
    *   Usually, when talking about introducing a new element into a system or environment (like technology in a courtroom), it refers to the act or the process of incorporating it.
    *   Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 4:
        *   Sense 1 (state): "The inclusion of the new member in the group was welcomed." (The fact that they are now part of it).
        *   Sense 4 (act): "The inclusion of new technology in the courtroom is affecting..." (The act of bringing it in/incorporating it).
    *   Actually, looking at Sense 2's example: "he admired the inclusion of so many ideas in such a short work". This is very similar to "the inclusion of new technology in the courtroom". However, Sense 2 is defined as "the relation of comprising something".
    *   Let's re-evaluate Sense 4 ("the act of including"). If the lawyer is arguing that the *fact* that technology is being used (the act of incorporating it into the process) is the problem, Sense 4 fits well.
    *   Wait, let's look at Sense 1 again: "the state of being included".
    *   Let's look at Sense 4 again: "the act of including".
    *   In the phrase "the inclusion of new technology in the courtroom", it refers to the practice or the action of allowing/incorporating technology. This is most closely aligned with "the act of including".

    *   Sense 1: State of being included.
    *   Sense 2: Relation of comprising something.
    *   Sense 4: Act of including.
    *   In "the inclusion of new technology in the courtroom", the focus is on the action/process of incorporating technology into the legal proceedings.

    *   Sense 4 is the most direct fit for the act of incorporating something into a system.

    *   Sense 1: State of being included. (e.g., "Her inclusion in the team was a surprise.")
    *   Sense 4: Act of including. (e.g., "The inclusion of a new clause in the contract changed everything.")
    *   "The inclusion of new technology in the courtroom" is very similar to "The inclusion of a new clause in the contract". It's the act of adding/incorporating.

    *   Sense 1: state of being included.
    *   Sense 2: relation of comprising something.
    *   Sense 3: intracellular body.
    *   Sense 4: act of including.
    *   The context "the inclusion of new technology in the courtroom" refers to the act/process of incorporating it.

    *   Sense 4 is the best fit.

Context:
In the end, the defense says, there were more than 140,000 Twitter messages about the trial that dealt with rape and children tied to their beds in a house that was set ablaze. On Thursday, the widely followed trial of Steven J. Hayes, who was convicted of killing three members of a Cheshire, Conn., family, is set to come to an official end with the judge's imposition of the death sentence voted for by the jury. But lawyers for Mr. Hayes have already made court filings that sketch out appeals arguments that are likely to occupy the courts for years. One of the most provocative is that the intense reporting on the trial - including mainstream reporters' extensive use of Twitter - created a "circus atmosphere" and such widespread, instant saturation with inflammatory details that the jury was improperly swayed by public passions. The claim could force appeals judges to grapple with the question of whether new technology requires new courtroom rules. "As I experienced it during this trial, I think there's a real danger that the inclusion of new technology in the courtroom is affecting an <t>individual</t>'s fair-trial rights," said Thomas J. Ullmann, Mr. Hayes's chief defense lawyer. The trial judge, Jon C. Blue of State Superior Court, tersely rejected the claims in a ruling last week, saying that the news media were "carefully controlled" and that there was no evidence the jury was driven by passion.

    *   The word "individual" refers to a person (specifically, a defendant in a trial) who has "fair-trial rights."
    *   "Fair-trial rights" are legal rights granted to human beings.
    *   Sense 1 ("a human being") fits perfectly.
    *   Sense 2 ("a single organism") is too broad (could be a plant, animal, etc.) and doesn't fit the legal context of "fair-trial rights."

    *   Sense 1 is the correct choice.
