Model Details

Model Description

JurisPrae is a state-of-the-art chatbot designed to provide information and answer questions related to civil law. It aims to democratize legal knowledge for students, legal professionals, and anyone curious about their rights and obligations.

Model type: Causal language model (decoder-only)
Base Model: meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct
Quantization: The model has been quantized to 4-bit precision (GGUF), allowing for efficient performance on consumer hardware.
Fine-tuning Data: See the "Training Data" section below.

Uses

JurisPrae is intended for educational and informational purposes.

Natural Language Understanding: Ask questions in plain English, just as you would on a forum like Reddit, and get clear, concise answers.
Legal Concept Explanations: Break down complex legal jargon and concepts into easy-to-understand language.
Topic Exploration: Learn about various civil law topics, including contracts, torts, property law, and family law.
Case Law Summaries: Get high-level summaries of important legal cases to understand how the law has been applied.

Training Data

The base model was fine-tuned on a curated dataset constructed from posts and comments from the r/legal_advice subreddit. This dataset was chosen to provide the model with a strong understanding of how non-lawyers formulate legal questions and the kinds of real-world issues they face. The data was carefully cleaned and formatted into a conversational instruction format.

Limitations and Bias

Not a Lawyer: JurisPrae is not a lawyer and its responses do not constitute legal advice. It is a tool for information, not a substitute for professional legal counsel.
Potential for Inaccuracies: The model was trained on public forum data from r/legal_advice, which may contain inaccuracies. The model may therefore generate responses that are incorrect, incomplete, or outdated.
Jurisdictional Nuances: The model may not capture the specific nuances of local or regional laws. Civil law can vary significantly between jurisdictions.
No Knowledge of Recent Events: The model's knowledge is limited to its training data and it will not be aware of very recent legal developments or court rulings.
