Researchers have developed a new benchmark for detecting implicit legal citations in French court decisions, a task that proves challenging for current AI models. The study found that cases where legal experts disagree are precisely where AI models tend to fail, indicating intrinsic difficulty rather than annotation noise. By reframing the problem as a top-k ranking task with multi-model consensus, a method was developed to achieve higher precision without supervision, suggesting a path forward for useful AI tools in legal contexts.
