IL-PCSR: Legal Corpus for Prior Case and Statute Retrieval
A recent paper published on arXiv presents the development of a legal corpus aimed at improving the retrieval of relevant statutes and prior cases for legal practitioners. This corpus addresses the interconnected nature of retrieving both prior case law and statutes, which are essential tasks in legal research. The primary goal of this research is to enhance the efficiency of legal research processes, making it easier for lawyers to locate pertinent information. By focusing on these linked retrieval tasks, the corpus seeks to support legal professionals in navigating complex legal documents more effectively. The target users of this development are legal practitioners who require quick and accurate access to relevant legal precedents and statutory materials. This advancement reflects ongoing efforts in the field of legal informatics to leverage technology for better information retrieval. The work contributes to the broader research goal of streamlining legal workflows through improved data resources.
