Abstract

Legal judgment prediction is the task of predicting the out- come of court cases on a given text description of facts of cases. These tasks apply Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques to predict legal judgment results based on facts. Recently, large-scale public datasets and NLP models have increased research in areas related to legal judgment prediction systems. For such systems to be practically helpful, they should be robust from adversarial attacks. Previous works mainly focus on making a neural legal judgement system; however, significantly less or no attention has been given to creating a robust Legal Judgement Prediction(LJP) system. We implemented adversarial attacks on early existing LJP systems and found that none of them could handle attacks. In this work, we proposed an approach for making robust LJP systems. Extensive experiments on three legal datasets show significant improvements in our approach over the state-of-the-art LJP system in handling adversarial attacks. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to increase the robustness of early-existing LJP systems.
