• Abstract: This study examines the application of artificial intelligence (AI) and large language models (LLM) to improve access to legal texts in Senegal's judicial system. The emphasis is on the difficulties of extracting and organizing legal documents, highlighting the need for better access to judicial information. The research successfully extracted 7,967 articles from various legal documents, particularly focusing on the Land and Public Domain Code. A detailed graph database was developed, which contains 2,872 nodes and 10,774 relationships, aiding in the visualization of interconnections within legal texts. In addition, advanced triple extraction techniques were utilized for knowledge, demonstrating the effectiveness of models such as GPT-4o, GPT-4, and Mistral-Large in identifying relationships and relevant metadata. Through these technologies, the aim is to create a solid framework that allows Senegalese citizens and legal professionals to more effectively understand their rights and responsibilities.

  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.

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.
