# Matlock - Canadian Immigration and Refugee Law Model

This model is specialized in Canadian immigration and refugee law, built on Mistral 7B.

## Model Description

Matlock (legal-mistral-immigration-v2) is designed for analyzing and explaining Canadian immigration and refugee law, with particular expertise in:

1. Refugee determination processes and legal standards
2. Interpretation of Canadian immigration legislation
3. Analysis of case law from specialized tribunals
4. Procedural and substantive legal requirements

## Training Data

The model incorporates data from:
- Refugee Appeal Division (RAD) decisions
- Refugee Protection Division (RPD) decisions
- Federal Court decisions
- Canadian immigration legislation and regulations

## Usage

```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("Albiemark/matlock-canadian-law")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Albiemark/matlock-canadian-law")

# Example query
query = "What is the definition of a Convention refugee in Canadian law?"
inputs = tokenizer(query, return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model.generate(**inputs)
response = tokenizer.decode(outputs[0])
```

## Limitations

- Provides legal information, not legal advice
- Should not substitute for professional legal counsel
- Knowledge cutoff based on training data
- Each case requires individual assessment
