Citation-Based Summarization of Landmark JudgmentsPurnima Bindal, Vikas Kumar, Vasudha Bhatnagar et al.
Landmark judgments are of prime importance in the Common Law System because of their exceptional jurisprudence and frequent references in other judgments. In this work, we leverage contextual references available in citing judgments to create an extractive summary of the target judgment. We evaluate the proposed algorithm on two datasets curated from the judgments of Indian Courts and find the results promising.

Similar Cases Recommendation using Legal Knowledge GraphsJaspreet Singh Dhani, Ruchika Bhatt, Balaji Ganesan et al.
A legal knowledge graph constructed from court cases, judgments, laws and other legal documents can enable a number of applications like question answering, document similarity, and search. While the use of knowledge graphs for distant supervision in NLP tasks is well researched, using knowledge graphs for applications like case similarity presents challenges. In this work, we describe our solution for predicting similar cases in Indian court judgements. We present our results and also discuss the impact of large language models on this task.
