- Title: Towards an Open Platform for Legal Information
- Authors: Malte Ostendorff, Till Blume, Saskia Ostendorff
- Abstract summary: We present our approach for an open source platform to transparently process and access Legal Open Data.
This enables the sustainable development of legal applications by offering a single technology stack.
As proof of concept, we implemented six technologies and generated metadata for more than 250,000 German laws and court decisions.

- Abstract: Recent advances in the area of legal information systems have led to a
variety of applications that promise support in processing and accessing legal
documents. Unfortunately, these applications have various limitations, e.g.,
regarding scope or extensibility. Furthermore, we do not observe a trend
towards open access in digital libraries in the legal domain as we observe in
other domains, e.g., economics of computer science. To improve open access in
the legal domain, we present our approach for an open source platform to
transparently process and access Legal Open Data. This enables the sustainable
development of legal applications by offering a single technology stack.
Moreover, the approach facilitates the development and deployment of new
technologies. As proof of concept, we implemented six technologies and
generated metadata for more than 250,000 German laws and court decisions. Thus,
we can provide users of our platform not only access to legal documents, but
also the contained information.

How to update the legal knowledge of Large Language Models (LLMs) has become an important research problem in practice.
Existing benchmarks for evaluating knowledge update methods are mostly designed for the open domain.
We introduce the Legal Knowledge Update BEnchmark, i.e. LeKUBE, which evaluates knowledge update methods for legal LLMs across five dimensions.

of Social Media Algorithms for Public Interest [70.02478301291264]
Social media platforms curate access to information and opportunities, and so play a critical role in shaping public discourse.
Prior studies have used black-box methods to show that these algorithms can lead to biased or discriminatory outcomes.
We propose a new method for platform-supported auditing that can meet the goals of the proposed legislation.

We offer an approach to filtering grounded in law, which has directly addressed the tradeoffs in filtering material.
First, we gather and make available the Pile of Law, a 256GB dataset of open-source English-language legal and administrative data.
Second, we distill the legal norms that governments have developed to constrain the inclusion of toxic or private content into actionable lessons.
Third, we show how the Pile of Law offers researchers the opportunity to learn such filtering rules directly from the data.
