Each datum within the dataset comprises a comprehensive overview of a legal case, a specific inquiry associated with it, and a potential argument in support of a solution, supplemented with an in-depth rationale elucidating the applicability of the argument within the given context. Derived from a text designed for legal education purposes, this dataset presents a multifaceted benchmarking task for contemporary legal language models. Our manuscript delineates the approach we adopted for participation in this competition. Specifically, we detail the use of a Mistral 7B model to answer the question provided. Our only and best submission reach an F1-score equal to 0.5597 and an Accuracy of 0.5714, outperforming the baseline provided for the task.
