The large number of legislative documents produced every day makes it difficult to follow each and every document. However, it is important for enterprises to comply with all current legislative acts. In this paper we demonstrate the application of different topic analysis algorithms and stop word filtering approaches to the corpus of legal texts of the Republic of Latvia. This is done for the purpose of supporting the discovery of expressive and meaningful legal topics and marking respective documents according to those topics. Topic models produced in this work are intended to be used as an aid for experts, enabling faster document browsing possibilities.
