Researchers have developed a new Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) framework specifically designed for legal question answering over Indian Supreme Court judgments. This framework incorporates domain-specific enhancements such as rhetorically based chunking, fusion-based retrieval, and cross-encoder reranking to improve information retrieval relevance. It also considers conversational aspects by using chat history and query rewriting, and accounts for structural elements within legal documents like judge names to boost retrieval quality. Evaluations using the DeepEval framework demonstrated strong performance in contextual recall and answer relevancy, highlighting the framework's effectiveness for context-heavy legal tasks and the importance of domain-specific AI system development.
