Abstract
Two distinct aspects of the performance of a system for legal analysis can be evaluated. The first is the quality of the analysis produced by the system. The quality of an analysis is evaluated by determining the extent to which the analysis identifies the relevant issues, determines the legal authorities applicable to those issues, and constructs sound and persuasive arguments based on those authorities. The second aspect of a legal-analysis system that can be evaluated is the efficiency of the system, that is, the computational resources necessary to produce an analysis.
