Kriti Singhal, Jatin Bedi


Abstract
Legal argument reasoning task in civil procedure is a new NLP task utilizing a dataset from the domain of the U.S. civil procedure. The task aims at identifying whether the solution to a question in the legal domain is correct or not. This paper describes the team “Transformers” submission to the Legal Argument Reasoning Task in Civil Procedure shared task at SemEval-2024 Task 5. We use a BERT-based architecture for the shared task. The highest F1-score score and accuracy achieved was 0.6172 and 0.6531 respectively. We secured the 13th rank in the Legal Argument Reasoning Task in Civil Procedure shared task.
