LexAgentHallu is a new benchmark that profiles hallucinations in legal agents across multi-step interactions. It contains 3,414 instances spanning 17 legal categories and 6 task types, each annotated with a dual-layer taxonomy of 7 high-level and 27 fine-grained hallucination categories. The benchmark introduces fine-grained metrics to quantify and localize failures along an agent’s execution path, revealing patterns such as the Right-Answer-Wrong-Reason effect and clustered hallucination subclasses.
arXiv:2606. 18021v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI systems deployed in legal workflows hallucinate at rates that aggregate metrics report at ~52%, but this average conceals where errors concentrate and in which direction they run, leaving compliance officers without an actionable signal for trustworthy deployment.
arXiv:2609.17546v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this position paper, we argue that legal LLMs' hallucinations should be evaluated as a failure of legal warrant rather than as factual inaccuracy or...
arXiv:2608. 14210v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Hallucination is a major challenge for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems in the legal domain, where ungrounded answers can lead to serious consequences.
arXiv:2607. 18366v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) serving as planners in tool-using autonomous agents introduce dynamic reliability risks in multi-turn execution.
As agents grow more capable, legal-domain LLM agents promise to turn document-heavy matters into reviewable work products -- yet reliable deployment faces three obstacles: no large-scale evidence on how today's strongest model-and-harness combinations behave on end-to-end legal matters; no agent architecture adapted to the legal vertical, only general-purpose harnesses; and, in a setting that keeps shifting with new facts, authorities, and deadlines, no mechanism for systems to learn from their own outcomes. We address each.
