Researchers have introduced SG-LegalCite, a new benchmark designed to improve legal citation retrieval by incorporating explicit legal principles alongside case facts. Traditional methods often fail because they miss the specific legal doctrine a precedent supports, leading to the retrieval of factually similar but doctrinally irrelevant cases. This new approach, demonstrated with a dataset of over 100,000 case-principle pairs from Singaporean Supreme Court judgments, shows that explicitly including legal principles significantly enhances retrieval accuracy.
