Justice Spencer appears only in Section 44 which starts at 11.077.
She is the judge presiding over “the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington”.
She is introduced by the Bailiff as “The Honorable Justice Meredith Spencer” but the name Meredith does not appear again.
Justice Spencer is variously referred to by the narrator as “the judge”, ”the justice”, “Justice Spencer”, and just ”Spencer”.
Her actions as described by the narrator include taking her seat, nodding, clearing her throat, gesturing, taking off her glasses, and glaring.
Justice Spencer’s direct speech consists of 17 quoted passages, 113 tokens, and 67 unique words.
She is the only character to say the words ‘proceed’, ‘proceedings’, ‘intergovernmental’, ‘consortium’, or the interrupted ‘irregul—’, and the only person other than the narrator to use the words ‘technically’, ‘plaintiff’, or ‘statement’.
The token count here is spaCy’s tokenization minus punctuation.
Unique words here means unique lemmas (with lemmatization also from spaCy) with minor corrections as we find mistakes.
Speaker identification was done manually.
“This…” said the justice, “this is exactly what you say it is.”
