AI research explores causal discovery and LLMs for legal argument generation

Two new research papers explore the application of AI in legal argument generation. One paper identifies a fundamental challenge in legal argument mining: the lack of a structured approach that balances theoretical expressiveness with computational feasibility, hindering progress despite advancements in LLMs. The other paper investigates the use of causal discovery algorithms, typically applied in fields like medicine and economics, to generate legal arguments by analyzing annotated legal datasets and discovering causal relationships between legal concepts. AI
