02

Core legal & governance issues

  1. How judicial data entering models and knowledge bases should be protected and access-controlled
  2. How generated suggestions, similar-case search, and drafting outputs should be source-verified and reviewed
  3. How models, prompts, knowledge bases, and logs can support judicial accountability and audit

03

Governance & implementation status

  • The project provides a vertical model and case-handling support across judicial scenarios.
  • Public materials describe it as a representative application of AI in legal and judicial work.
  • Its detailed technical architecture, evaluation metrics, and governance rules remain subject to confirmation from future official materials.

04

Practical compliance guidance

01Judicial and legal systems should retain an assistive role and require authorized personnel to review facts, authorities, and final outputs.

02Case data used for training, retrieval, and generation requires classification, least-privilege access, and complete logs.

03Acceptance testing should cover accuracy, citation traceability, unauthorized access, bias, hallucination, and fallback procedures.
