+ # Legal Tasks Sample Set (Tasks #89 & #93)
22
+
23
+ ## Dataset Summary
24
+
25
+ This is a small, curated sample set of expert-authored **legal reasoning tasks** used to evaluate the quality of long-form legal writing (for example, responses produced by language models or by trainees). It contains **two tasks**, both in the **Corporate & M&A** area, each provided in three progressively refined versions (an original plus two revisions).
26
+
27
+ Every task pairs a realistic legal prompt with a "gold" model answer written by a subject-matter expert, a detailed scoring rubric, reference materials, and metadata describing how realistic and how difficult the task is. The dataset is intended for evaluation and benchmarking rather than for training.
28
+
29
+ ## Contents
30
+
31
+ | Task | Area | Jurisdiction | Topic |
32
+ |------|------|-------------|-------|
33
+ | Legal Task #89 | Corporate & M&A | Belgium | Exclusion of a shareholder/CEO under Belgian company law |
34
+ | Legal Task #93 | Corporate & M&A | England & Wales | Share buybacks under the Companies Act 2006 |
35
+
36
+ ## Data Structure
37
+
38
+ The dataset is a single JSON object. Each top-level key is a task name (`"Legal Task #89"`, `"Legal Task #93"`). Each task contains an `Area` label and three versions:
39
+
40
+ - **Original Version** — the first draft of the task
41
+ - **Version 1** — a first revision
42
+ - **Version 2** — a further revision
43
+
44
+ Each version is an object with the following fields:
45
+
46
+ | Field | Type | Description |
47
+ |-------|------|-------------|
48
+ | `Prompt` | string | The legal question or instruction posed to the writer/model |
49
+ | `Gold Response` | string | The expert-authored reference answer |
50
+ | `Associated Rubrics` | integer | The number of rubric criteria associated with the task |
51
+ | `Rubrics` | list | The scoring rubric — a list of criteria (see below) |
52
+ | `Task Details` | string | Notes on what the task involves and why |
53
+ | `Reference Materials` | string | Source laws, codes, or links used for the answer |
54
+ | `Realistic Task` | integer | Rating (1–5) of how realistic the task is |
55
+ | `Realistic Explanation` | string | Rationale for the realism rating |
56
+ | `Difficult Task` | integer | Rating (1–5) of how difficult the task is |
57
+ | `Difficulty Explanation` | string | Rationale for the difficulty rating |
58
+
59
+ ### Rubric format
60
+
61
+ Each entry in `Rubrics` is an object with these fields:
62
+
63
+ - `rubric_category` — the dimension being scored, one of: *Structure & Style Rubric*, *Substance Rubric - Explicit requirements*, *Substance Rubric - Implicit expectations*, *Substance Rubric - Legal correctness*, *Substance Rubric - Reasoning quality*, *Sources and References Rubric*, and *Negative Rubric*.
64
+ - `score_option` — the points available for meeting the criterion.
65
+ - `criterion` — the specific thing being evaluated.
66
+ - `justification` — why the criterion matters.
67
+
68
+ ## Intended Uses
69
+
70
+ This sample set is designed for:
71
+
72
+ - Evaluating and benchmarking the quality of AI-generated or human-written legal analysis
73
+ - Studying rubric-based scoring of long-form legal responses
74
+ - Illustrating how legal evaluation tasks are constructed and refined across versions
75
+
76
+ It is **not** intended as a source of legal advice. The prompts and responses are illustrative legal analyses for evaluation purposes and should not be relied upon for any real legal matter.
77
+
78
+ ## Jurisdictions Covered
79
+
80
+ - **Belgium** — Belgian Code of Companies and Associations (CCA) and Belgian Judicial Code (Task #89)
81
+ - **England & Wales** — Companies Act 2006 (Task #93)
82
+
83
+ ## Limitations and Notes
84
+
85
+ - This is a **two-task sample**, not a full dataset; it is meant for demonstration and small-scale evaluation.
86
+ - Content is specific to the corporate-law scenarios described and does not generalize to other legal areas or jurisdictions.
87
+ - Because the file is a single nested JSON object (keyed by task name) rather than a flat table of rows, the Hugging Face Dataset Viewer may not render it as a table. The file remains valid, downloadable, and machine-readable. A JSON Lines (`.jsonl`) version can be produced if a table view is required.
