NepKANUN: A RAG-Based Nepali Legal Assistant

The paper introduces NepKANUN, an AI-powered legal assistant designed specifically for Nepali legal texts. Built on a fine‑tuned large language model and integrated into a Retrieval‑Augmented Generation (RAG) framework, it delivers precise answers to natural language legal queries. Evaluated with BERTScore, the system achieved strong F1 scores of 0.82, 0.77, and 0.71 across simple, moderate, and complex question categories, and expert reviews confirm its usability.

AILQA: Evaluating AI-Driven Legal Question Answering Systems for the Indian Legal System

This comprehensive study introduces an advanced Artificial Intelligence for Indian Legal Question Answering (AILQA) system tailored to the Indian legal context. AILQA leverages a variety of embedding and generative models, including recent Large Language Models (LLMs), to address the unique challenges posed by the intricate and diverse nature of Indian legal texts and to enhance the accuracy and reliability of responses to legal questions.

ViLegalExpert: A Large-Scale Benchmark for Vietnamese Legal Retrieval and Question Answering from Real-World Consultations

ViLegalExpert is a large-scale Vietnamese legal benchmark built from real citizen–lawyer consultations, comprising over 172,000 questions across 34 legal domains with professional answers and expert-verified evidence. It supports legal information retrieval, extractive QA, and abstractive QA. Experiments show that while pretrained language models perform well on QA, hybrid retrieval methods achieve the best evidence retrieval, highlighting significant challenges in grounding legal answers to authoritative sources.

CoAL-RAG: A Complexity-Aware Legal Retrieval-Augmented Generation Method

CoAL‑RAG is a complexity‑aware legal retrieval‑augmented generation method that adapts its retrieval strategy based on a multi‑dimensional evaluation of question essence and retrieval consistency. It quantifies reasoning demand from the logical structure of a question and uses the discrepancy between semantic and keyword retrieval to gauge problem complexity, thereby selecting the most suitable retrieval approach and filtering context dynamically. Experiments show that CoAL‑RAG outperforms baseline models on Chinese legal benchmarks (SocialLawQA, LawBench) with a 42.5% BLEU improvement and 3.6× ROUGE‑L, while also achieving strong cross‑jurisdictional performance on English datasets (LexGLUE, CaseHold).
