+## Dataset Summary
+
+This dataset contains an implementation of lower-court-insertion for the SwissJudgmentPrediction task.
+
+### Documents
+Lower-Court-Insertion-Swiss-Judgment-Prediction is a subset of the [Swiss-Judgment-Prediction](https://huggingface.co/datasets/swiss_judgment_prediction) dataset.
+The Swiss-Judgment-Prediction dataset is a multilingual, diachronic dataset of 85K Swiss Federal Supreme Court (FSCS) cases annotated with the respective binarized judgment outcome (approval/dismissal), the publication year, the legal area and the canton of origin per case. Lower-Court-Insertion-Swiss-Judgment-Prediction extends this dataset by adding lower court insertion.
+### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards
+
+LowerCourtInsertionSwissJudgmentPrediction can be used for performing the LowerCourtInsertion in the legal judgment prediction task.
+
+### Languages
+
+Switzerland has four official languages with 3 languages (German, French and Italian) being represented in more than 1000 Swiss Federal Supreme court decisions. The decisions are written by the judges and clerks in the language of the proceedings.

+## Dataset Creation
+
+### Curation Rationale
+
+The dataset was curated by Niklaus et al. (2021) and Nina Baumgartner.
+
+### Source Data
+
+#### Initial Data Collection and Normalization
+
+The original data are available at the Swiss Federal Supreme Court (https://www.bger.ch) in unprocessed formats (HTML). The documents were downloaded from the Entscheidsuche portal (https://entscheidsuche.ch) in HTML.
+
+#### Who are the source language producers?
+
+Switzerland has four official languages with 3 languages (German, French and Italian) being represented in more than 1000 Swiss Federal Supreme court decisions. The decisions are written by the judges and clerks in the language of the proceedings.
+
+### Annotations
+
+#### Annotation process
+
+The decisions have been annotated with the binarized judgment outcome using parsers and regular expressions. In addition the a subset of the test set (27 cases in German, 24 in French and 23 in Italian spanning over the years 2017 an 20200) was annotated by legal experts with the lower court. These lower court annotations were then use the insert each lower court into each case once (instead of the original lower court). Allowing an analysis of the changes in the models performance for each inserted lower court, giving insight into a possible bias among them. The legal expert annotation were conducted from April 2020 to August 2020.
+
+#### Who are the annotators?
+
+Joel Niklaus and Adrian Jörg annotated the binarized judgment outcomes. Metadata is published by the Swiss Federal Supreme Court (https://www.bger.ch). The group of legal experts consists of Thomas Lüthi (lawyer), Lynn Grau (law student at master's level) and Angela Stefanelli (law student at master's level).
+
+### Personal and Sensitive Information
+
+The dataset contains publicly available court decisions from the Swiss Federal Supreme Court. Personal or sensitive information has been anonymized by the court before publication according to the following guidelines: https://www.bger.ch/home/juridiction/anonymisierungsregeln.html.

+	abstract = {Natural Language Processing ({NLP}) models have been used for more and more complex tasks such as Legal Judgment Prediction ({LJP}). A {LJP} model predicts the outcome of a legal case by utilizing its facts. This increasing deployment of Artificial Intelligence ({AI}) in high-stakes domains such as law and the involvement of sensitive data has increased the need for understanding such systems. We propose a multilingual occlusion-based explainability approach for {LJP} in Switzerland and conduct a study on the bias using Lower Court Insertion ({LCI}). We evaluate our results using different explainability metrics introduced in this thesis and by comparing them to high-quality Legal Expert Annotations using Inter Annotator Agreement. Our findings show that the model has a varying understanding of the semantic meaning and context of the facts section, and struggles to distinguish between legally relevant and irrelevant sentences. We also found that the insertion of a different lower court can have an effect on the prediction, but observed no distinct effects based on legal areas, cantons, or regions. However, we did identify a language disparity with Italian performing worse than the other languages due to representation inequality in the training data, which could lead to potential biases in the prediction in multilingual regions of Switzerland. Our results highlight the challenges and limitations of using {NLP} in the judicial field and the importance of addressing concerns about fairness, transparency, and potential bias in the development and use of {NLP} systems. The use of explainable artificial intelligence ({XAI}) techniques, such as occlusion and {LCI}, can help provide insight into the decision-making processes of {NLP} systems and identify areas for improvement. Finally, we identify areas for future research and development in this field in order to address the remaining limitations and challenges.},
