A Short Survey of Viewing Large Language Models in Legal Aspect

Read the original on arXiv Computation and Language →

The paper surveys how large language models (LLMs) are being applied in legal tasks such as judgement prediction, document analysis, and drafting. It reviews the benefits of automation while highlighting legal challenges like privacy, bias, and explainability. The authors also discuss data resources for legal domain specialization and outline future research directions.
