Pile of Law: Learning Responsible Data Filtering from the Law and a 256GB Open-Source Legal Dataset
Description
Description
We curate a large corpus of legal and administrative data. The utility of this data is twofold: (1) to aggregate legal and administrative data sources that demonstrate different norms and legal standards for data filtering; (2) to collect a dataset that can be used in the future for pretraining legal-domain language models, a key direction in access-to-justice initiatives.
