<｜begin▁of▁sentence｜>### Instruction:
As a civil rights attorney, imagine you're analyzing a network of connected legal cases. The cases are represented by nodes, and the relationships between them by edges. You have a specific subset of this network in front of you, where the connections between cases are outlined as follows: there are ties from case 1 to case 2, case 1 to case 3, case 2 to case 3, case 3 to case 4, and from case 4 to case 5. To comprehensively assess the scope of this network and better understand the interconnectedness of these cases, you need to determine the count of connections, or legal linkages, present within this particular diagram. Could you engage with this scenario using NetworkX to ascertain the total quantity of these connections?
### Response:
import networkx as nx

# Create a graph
G = nx.Graph()
# Add edges
G.add_edges_from([(1, 2), (1, 3), (2, 3), (3, 4), (4, 5)])

# Get the number of edges
num_edges = G.number_of_edges()
print('Number of edges in the graph:', num_edges)
