Lena Held, Ivan Habernal


Abstract
This paper describes the results of SemEval-2024 Task 5: Argument Reasoning in Civil Procedure, consisting of a single task on judging and reasoning about the answers to questions in U.S. civil procedure. The dataset for this task contains question, answer and explanation pairs taken from The Glannon Guide To Civil Procedure (Glannon, 2018). The task was to classify in a binary manner if the answer is a correct choice for the question or not. Twenty participants submitted their solutions, with the best results achieving a remarkable 82.31% F1-score. We summarize and analyze the results from all participating systems and provide an overview over the systems of 14 participants.
