# Lawma task files

This repository contains the task files of the [Lawma](https://arxiv.org/abs/2407.16615) legal classification tasks. 
These tasks were derived from the [Supreme Court](http://scdb.wustl.edu/data.php) and [Songer Court of Appeals](www.songerproject.org/us-courts-of-appeals-databases.html) databases.
See the project's [GitHub repository](https://github.com/socialfoundations/lawma) for more details.
