• Title: A Prompt Engineering Approach and a Knowledge Graph based Framework for Tackling Legal Implications of Large Language Model Answers
• Authors: George Hannah, Rita T. Sousa, Ioannis Dasoulas, Claudia d'Amato,
• Abstract summary: We provide an empirical analysis on multiple existing Large Language Models (LLMs) showing the urgency of the problem. We propose a short-term solution consisting in an approach for isolating these legal issues through prompt re-engineering. We also propose a framework powered by a legal knowledge graph (KG) to generate legal citations for these legal issues.

• Abstract: With the recent surge in popularity of Large Language Models (LLMs), there is the rising risk of users blindly trusting the information in the response, even in cases where the LLM recommends actions that have potential legal implications and this may put the user in danger. We provide an empirical analysis on multiple existing LLMs showing the urgency of the problem. Hence, we propose a short-term solution consisting in an approach for isolating these legal issues through prompt re-engineering. We further analyse the outcomes but also the limitations of the prompt engineering based approach and we highlight the need of additional resources for fully solving the problem We also propose a framework powered by a legal knowledge graph (KG) to generate legal citations for these legal issues, enriching the response of the LLM.

  This study addresses the challenges of adapting Large Language Models to the Palestinian legal domain. Political instability, fragmented legal frameworks, and limited AI resources hinder effective machine-learning applications. We present a fine-tuned model based on a quantized version of Llama-3.2-1B-Instruct, trained on a synthetic data set derived from Palestinian legal texts.

  Large Language Models (LLMs) could struggle to fully understand legal theories and perform legal reasoning tasks. We introduce a challenging task (confusing charge prediction) to better evaluate LLMs' understanding of legal theories and reasoning capabilities. We also propose a novel framework: Multi-Agent framework for improving complex Legal Reasoning capability.

  We argue that clearer assessments of risks and harms to users will be possible when we specialize the analysis to more concrete applications and their plausible users. We conduct a risk-oriented error analysis that could then inform the design of a future system to be deployed with lower risk of harm and better performance.
