A decision-support system applied to Law: Reasoning and explainability of the decision

The paper presents a decision‑support framework for Law Enforcement Agencies that formalises EU regulations such as the Law Enforcement Directive and uses symbolic AI with SPARQL to reason over legal rules. It includes an algorithm that generates justifications for its conclusions and a decision‑tree method to identify additional information needed when reasoning is inconclusive. The framework emphasizes explainability to build user confidence in automated legal decisions.

From Regulation to Requirements: An Automated Requirement Derivation and Explanation Pipeline

arXiv:2607. 04448v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Ensuring software compliance with regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Artificial Intelligence Act (EU AI Act) poses a significant challenge, as requirements engineers must translate complex legal text into actionable software requirements - a process that remains largely manual and error-prone in practice.

Code-as-Auditor: Executable Compliance Reasoning via Regulation-to-Code

Code-as-Auditor is an LLM-based framework that transforms regulatory information into formal checklists and executable decision trees, encoding rules as interpretable code. During inference, the model expands each checklist item into factual and counterfactual questions, guiding reasoning over case-specific evidence and potential violations. This pipeline moves from evidence identification to rule application and final decision-making, with a self‑verification loop that enhances logical consistency and traceability, leading to more accurate and evidence‑backed compliance evaluations in privacy and data protection scenarios.

PROSLEX: A Novel Dataset for Expert-Annotated Legal Statute Prediction for Indian Judiciary

arXiv:2608. 08830v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Legal Statute Prediction (LSP) involves automatically identifying relevant legal statutes given factual descriptions in legal documents, typically framed as a multi-label classification task within natural language processing and information retrieval research.

By Their Fruits You Will Know Them: Comparing Formalizations of Law by the Decisions They Encode

The paper introduces a systematic method for comparing different formalizations of the same legal provision by analyzing their inferences on individual cases. It matches formalizations at the node level, derives shared interfaces, and uses a SAT solver to identify edge cases where any two formalizations disagree. The authors apply this approach to ten EU provisions formalized by nine advanced LLMs, finding that behavioral divergence is largely uncorrelated with structural agreement and that the resulting edge cases expose distinct types of disagreement, some reflecting real legal controversies.

Medi-Gemma: A Hybrid Clinical Decision Support System Integrating Deterministic EMR Analytics and Retrieval-Augmented Generation

arXiv:2607. 04907v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deploying Large Language Models (LLMs) in high-stakes clinical settings remains limited by structural hallucinations, weak deterministic reasoning over tabular patient data, and omissions in vector retrieval.

Can LLMs Reason in a Legally Meaningful Manner? A Small-scale Study on European Court of Human Rights Cases

The study examines whether large language models (LLMs) can perform legally meaningful reasoning by testing OpenAI GPT 5.4 on European Court of Human Rights case forecasting. Using various prompting strategies, the authors find that the model produces structurally complete but substantively shallow analyses, and that LLM-as-a-Judge evaluators are internally consistent yet only weakly aligned with human annotators. The expert-curated prompt yields more comprehensive reasoning but does not improve prediction accuracy, leading the authors to caution against relying solely on automated LLM evaluation or using task accuracy as a proxy for reasoning quality.
