abstract
In this paper, we introduce the \textbf{C}hinese \textbf{AI} and \textbf{L}aw challenge dataset (CAIL2018), the first large-scale Chinese legal dataset for judgment prediction. \dataset contains more than $2.6$ million criminal cases published by the Supreme People's Court of China, which are several times larger than other datasets in existing works on judgment prediction. Moreover, the annotations of judgment results are more detailed and rich. It consists of applicable law articles, charges, and prison terms, which are expected to be inferred according to the fact descriptions of cases. For comparison, we implement several conventional text classification baselines for judgment prediction and experimental results show that it is still a challenge for current models to predict the judgment results of legal cases, especially on prison terms. To help the researchers make improvements on legal judgment prediction, both \dataset and baselines will be released after the CAIL competition\footnote{http://cail.cipsc.org.cn/}.

TypedCSIP applies typed counterfactual selective intervention pretraining on expert revisions to lift macro-F1 by 0.9-1.3 pp on the LCR-CN Chinese legislative conflict classification benchmark under a pre-registered multi-seed test.
Retrieval with frozen embeddings and k-NN delivers competitive accuracy, high data efficiency, and zero hallucinations on legal multi-label annotation across ECtHR and Eurlex datasets.
Internal LLM artifacts can be used to build classifiers that identify incorrect predictions on legal classification tasks.
LegalGraphRAG adds hierarchical organization to legal knowledge graphs and a multi-agent verification loop to reach claimed state-of-the-art accuracy and trustworthiness on legal reasoning benchmarks.
A two-phase external-knowledge plus number-learning-network method for multi-label charge prediction yields 3-5% macro-F1 and 5-15% micro-F1 gains when added to existing deep models on a Chinese legal dataset.
