Abstract (arXiv)

Using proprietary Large Language Models on legal tasks poses challenges due to data privacy issues, domain data heterogeneity, domain knowledge sophistication, and domain objectives uniqueness. We created Aalalp, a fine-tuned Mistral 7B model on instructions data related to specific Indian legal tasks. The performance of Aalap is better than gpt-3.5-turbo in 31% of our test data and obtains an equivalent score in 34% of the test data as evaluated by GPT4. Training Aalap mainly focuses on teaching legal reasoning rather than legal recall. Aalap is definitely helpful for the day-to-day activities of lawyers, judges, or anyone working in legal systems.
