Making a Computational Attorney
This is an incremental proposal for lawyers, focusing on outlining opportunities rather than solving a concrete problem.
The paper explores the potential of creating a computational attorney using Large Legal Language Models to assist lawyers with complex tasks like drafting legal briefs, but does not present specific results or numbers.
This "blue sky idea" paper outlines the opportunities and challenges in data mining and machine learning involving making a computational attorney -- an intelligent software agent capable of helping human lawyers with a wide range of complex high-level legal tasks such as drafting legal briefs for the prosecution or defense in court. In particular, we discuss what a ChatGPT-like Large Legal Language Model (L$^3$M) can and cannot do today, which will inspire researchers with promising short-term and long-term research objectives.
