Dataset Card for "LexFiles"
Dataset Summary
Disclaimer: This is a pre-proccessed version of the LexFiles corpus (https://huggingface.co/datasets/lexlms/lexfiles), where documents are pre-split in chunks of 512 tokens.
The LeXFiles is a new diverse English multinational legal corpus that we created including 11 distinct sub-corpora that cover legislation and case law from 6 primarily English-speaking legal systems (EU, CoE, Canada, US, UK, India). The corpus contains approx. 19 billion tokens. In comparison, the "Pile of Law" corpus released by Hendersons et al. (2022) comprises 32 billion in total, where the majority (26/30) of sub-corpora come from the United States of America (USA), hence the corpus as a whole is biased towards the US legal system in general, and the federal or state jurisdiction in particular, to a significant extent.

[1] We consider only U.S. Court Decisions from 1965 onwards (cf. post Civil Rights Act), as a hard threshold for cases relying on severely out-dated and in many cases harmful law standards. The rest of the corpora include more recent documents.
[2] Sampling (Sampl.) ratios are computed following the exponential sampling introduced by Lample et al. (2019).
Additional corpora not considered for pre-training, since they do not represent factual legal knowledge.
