# ITA-CASEHOLD


## Dataset Summary
- This dataset contains the data used in the research of the ITA-CASEHOLD model, an extractive summarization model to extract holdings from Italian Legal Administrative documents.
- The research paper titled 'Legal Holding Extraction from Italian Case Documents using Italian-LEGAL-BERT Text Summarization' is accepted for ICAIL 23.
- It consists of 1101 pairs of judgments and their official holdings between the years 2019 and 2022 from the archives of [Italian Administrative Justice](https://www.giustizia-amministrativa.it/it/web/guest/massime).
- The Administrative Justice system in Italy covers a wide range of issues, including public contracts, environmental protection, public services, immigration, taxes, and compensation for damages caused by the State
 
### Download the dataset
To download the dataset, use the following lines:

    from datasets import load_dataset

    dataset = load_dataset("itacasehold/itacasehold")

To split the train, test, and validation dataset, use 
    
    dataset = load_dataset("itacasehold/itacasehold", split = 'train')

 
### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

Summarization, Multi-class Text classification

### Languages

Italian


### Data Fields

The dataset consists of 
- **URL**: link to the document
- **Document**: The document
- **Summary**: The holding of the document
- **Materia** : Legal subject
- **Title** : Title of the document

### Data Splits

- **Train** : 792
- **Validatio** : 88
- **Test** : 221


### Source Data

The data is collected from ['Judicial Administration site'](https://www.giustizia-amministrativa.it/it/web/guest/massime).


### Social Impact of Dataset

Legal holdings are considered the most essential part of a legal decision because they summarize it without going into the merits of the specific case, establish a legal principle and set a legal precedent. 
The holdings writing is carried out by legal experts who, starting from a judgment, set out the applied principle of law in a clear, precise, and concise manner.
We approached the problem of extracting legal holdings as an Extractive text summarization task.

This Dataset addresses the Legal holding Extraction topic and so far the first and the only one present in the Italian language. 
This dataset contributes to Summarization in the Italian language and Summarization tasks in Legal domains.
Apart from this, the Dataset can also be used as a multi-class text classification task utilizing legal subjects. 


### Dataset Limitation

This Dataset specifically focuses on the Italian Legal domain, and it is only in Italian. The documents are only from the period of 2019-2022.
