A Legal Case Entailment Task is a legal textual entailment task that determines whether case law paragraphs logically support judicial decision fragments.
- AKA: Case Law Entailment Task, Legal Precedent Entailment Task, Judicial Decision Support Task.
- Context:
- It can typically identify Legal Entailing Paragraphs with legal reasoning analysis models.
- It can typically process Legal Query Decision Fragments with legal natural language inference models.
- It can typically evaluate Legal Logical Support Relationships through legal semantic similarity assessment.
- It can often employ Legal Cross-Encoder Architectures for legal fine-grained text comparison.
- It can often utilize Legal BERT Models with legal domain-specific pretraining.
- It can often apply Legal Attention Mechanisms for legal relevant passage identification.
- It can often integrate Legal Chain-of-Thought Prompting for legal reasoning transparency.
- It can range from being a Binary Legal Case Entailment Task to being a Multi-Class Legal Case Entailment Task, depending on its classification granularity.
- It can range from being a Paragraph-Level Legal Case Entailment Task to being a Document-Level Legal Case Entailment Task, depending on its text scope.
- It can range from being a Single-Hop Legal Case Entailment Task to being a Multi-Hop Legal Case Entailment Task, depending on its reasoning complexity.
- It can range from being a Extractive Legal Case Entailment Task to being a Abstractive Legal Case Entailment Task, depending on its evidence presentation.

- Competition Legal Case Entailment Tasks, such as:
- Counter-Examples:
- Legal Case Retrieval Task, which finds relevant documents rather than assessing entailment.
- Legal Statute Entailment Task, which focuses on statutory rather than case law.
- General Textual Entailment Task, which lacks legal domain specificity.
