JUSTICE: A Benchmark Dataset for Supreme Court's Judgment Prediction

Alali, Mohammad, Syed, Shaayan, Alsayed, Mohammed et al.

Understand

Artificial intelligence is being utilized in many domains as of late, and the legal system is no exception.

  • However, as it stands now, the number of well-annotated datasets pertaining to legal documents from the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) is very limited for public use.
  • Even though the Supreme Court rulings are public domain knowledge, trying to do meaningful work with them becomes a much greater task due to the need to manually gather and process that data from scratch each time.
  • Hence, our goal is to create a high-quality dataset of SCOTUS court cases so that they may be readily used in natural language processing (NLP) research and other data-driven applications.
