### Dataset Summary |
|
|
|
The Multi_Legal_Pile is a large-scale multilingual legal dataset suited for pretraining language models. |
|
It spans over 24 languages and four legal text types. |
|
|
|
### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards |
|
|
|
The dataset supports the tasks of fill-mask. |
|
|
|
### Languages |
|
|
|
The following languages are supported: bg, cs, da, de, el, en, es, et, fi, fr, ga, hr, hu, it, lt, lv, mt, nl, pl, pt, |
|
ro, sk, sl, sv |
|
|
|
## Dataset Structure |
|
|
|
It is structured in the following format: |
|
text_type -> language -> jurisdiction.jsonl.xz |
|
|
|
text_type is one of the following: |
|
|
|
- caselaw |
|
- contracts |
|
- legislation |
|
- other |
|
|
|
The dataset can be used in the following way: |
|
``` |
|
from datasets import load_dataset |
|
|
|
config = 'en_contracts' |
|
dataset = load_dataset('joelito/Multi_Legal_Pile', config, split='Train', streaming=True) |
|
``` |
|
|
|
'config' is a combination of language and text_type, e.g. 'en_contracts' or 'de_caselaw'. |
|
To load all the languages or all the text_types, use 'all' instead of the language or text_type (e.g., ' |
|
all_legislation'). |
|
|
|
### Data Instances |
|
|
|
The file format is jsonl.xz and there is one split available ("train"). |
|
|
|
|
|
The complete dataset (563GB) consists of four large subsets: |
|
- Native Multi Legal Pile (29GB) |
|
- Eurlex Resources (179GB) |
|
- MC4 Legal (133GB) |
|
- Pile of Law (222GB) |
|
|
|

|
|
For simplicity and with respect to balancing off data across different jurisdictions and languages, |
|
we disregard many US resources that are either very specialized (e.g., tax rulings), |
|
outdated/historical (e.g., founding letters), |
|
very small (less than 20MB), |
|
not legal language in the strict sense (conversations), |
|
or the information overlaps with other sources (study materials). |
|
If you are interested in a US-based (US-biased) model, refer to the "Pile of (US) Law" by Henderson et al. (2022). |
|
Analyses are put into the "other" category because in mc4_legal we also likely have similar text. |
