• Authors: Shawn Curran, Sam Lansley, Oliver Bethell
• Abstract summary: generative AI models struggle to integrate and navigate complex interplay of understanding, experience, and fact-checking procedures. It is noteworthy that where generative AI outputs understanding and experience, which reflect the aggregate of various subjective views on similar topics, this often deflects the model's attention from the crucial legal facts. We introduce an idea of mutli-length tokenisation to protect key information assets like common law judgements, and finally we interrogate the most advanced publicly available models for legal hallucination.

• Abstract: The legal profession necessitates a multidimensional approach that involves synthesizing an in-depth comprehension of a legal issue with insightful commentary based on personal experience, combined with a comprehensive understanding of pertinent legislation, regulation, and case law, in order to deliver an informed legal solution. The present offering with generative AI presents major obstacles in replicating this, as current models struggle to integrate and navigate such a complex interplay of understanding, experience, and fact-checking procedures. It is noteworthy that where generative AI outputs understanding and experience, which reflect the aggregate of various subjective views on similar topics, this often deflects the model's attention from the crucial legal facts, thereby resulting in hallucination. Hence, this paper delves into the feasibility of three independent LLMs, each focused on understanding, experience, and facts, synthesising as one single ensemble model to effectively counteract the current challenges posed by the existing monolithic generative AI models. We introduce an idea of mutli-length tokenisation to protect key information assets like common law judgements, and finally we interrogate the most advanced publicly available models for legal hallucination, with some interesting results.

  We propose a transparent law reasoning schema enriched with hierarchical factum probandum, evidence, and implicit experience. Inspired by this schema, we introduce the challenging task, which takes a textual case description and outputs a hierarchical structure justifying the final decision. This benchmark paves the way for transparent and accountable AI-assisted law reasoning in the Intelligent Court''

  We propose the Logical-Semantic Integration Model (LSIM), a supervised framework that bridges semantic and logical coherence. LSIM comprises three components: reinforcement learning predicts a structured fact-rule chain for each question, a trainable Deep Structured Semantic Model (DSSM) retrieves the most relevant candidate questions and in-answer learning generates the final answer. Our experiments on a real-world legal dataset QA-validated through both automated metrics and human evaluation-demonstrate that LSIM significantly enhances accuracy and reliability compared to existing methods.

  This paper explores various individual concerns stemming from multiplicity, including the effects of arbitrariness beyond final predictions. It provides both an empirical examination of these concerns and a comprehensive analysis from the legal standpoint, addressing how these issues are perceived in the anti-discrimination law in Canada. We conclude the discussion with technical challenges in the current landscape of model multiplicity to meet legal requirements and the legal gap between current law and the implications of arbitrariness in model selection.

  We propose Counterfactual Inception, a novel method that implants counterfactual thinking into Large Multi-modal Models.

  We present a novel application of large language models (LLMs) in legal education to help non-experts learn intricate legal concepts through storytelling. We introduce a new dataset LegalStories, which consists of 294 complex legal doctrines, each accompanied by a story and a set of multiple-choice questions. We find that LLM-generated stories enhance comprehension of legal concepts and interest in law among non-native speakers compared to only definitions.
