How to Use Large Language Models for Empirical Legal Research

Choi, Jonathan H., How to Use Large Language Models for Empirical Legal Research (August 9, 2023). Journal of Institutional and Theoretical Economics (Forthcoming), Available at SSRN: https://ssrn.com/abstract=4536852 – “Legal scholars have long annotated cases by hand to summarize and learn about developments in jurisprudence. Dramatic recent improvements in the performance of large language models (LLMs) now provide a potential alternative. This Article demonstrates how to use LLMs to analyze legal documents. It evaluates best practices and suggests both the uses and potential limitations of LLMs in empirical legal research. In a simple classification task involving Supreme Court opinions, it finds that GPT-4 performs approximately as well as human coders and significantly better than a variety of prior-generation NLP classifiers, with no improvement from supervised training, fine-tuning, or specialized prompting.”

In its 2-1 decision, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit said the parents lack standing because they have not suffered an injury from the Montgomery County Board of Education’s system, the students’ use of which is not disclosed to their parents if the school believes they would not be supportive.

You can build your own AI chatbot with this drag-and-drop tool

ZDNET – We try out Botpress, a tool that helps you create powerful AI-based chatbots. “Botpress is a tool for building interactive chatbots. While it supports building chatbots for a wide range of applications, the killer app is using it to build a customer support chatbot and backing it up with AI smarts. At its core, Botpress is a drag-and-drop interaction builder. You bring cards out onto the workspace, assign inputs, outputs, and calculations to the cards, and then connect one card to the next until a complete interaction has been mapped out. On the surface, bot building is fairly straightforward. You can build question cards and, based on the answers provided by users, transfer the interaction to another card which will either ask more questions or provide answers. Rinse. Wash. Repeat. Where this product stands out in the AI arena is that you can feed it knowledge sources ranging from a set of documents to a specific webpage, to searching on a specific website, to searching for answers across the web. AI analysis is powered by the ChatGPT API.”
