Researchers have introduced JusticeAxis, a new benchmark comprising 256 real-world criminal cases from 18 countries, designed to evaluate legal judgment capabilities in AI models. The benchmark includes audio, image, and text evidence, along with three lawyer-written judgments per case. They also proposed JusticeAgent, a system with element agents for fact establishment and a judge agent for law application, incorporating experience from execution trajectories. Experiments indicate that model scale influences judgment direction, with open-weight models drifting to unsupported grounds and frontier models to statutory defaults, while JusticeAgent can elevate a frozen open-weight backbone to commercial levels.
