LexNLP is a library for working with real, unstructured legal text, including contracts, plans, policies, procedures, and other material. LexNLP provides functionality such as:
- Segmentation and tokenization, such as
- A sentence parser that is aware of common legal abbreviations like LLC. or F.3d.
- Pre-trained segmentation models for legal concepts such as pages or sections.
- Pre-trained word embedding and topic models, broadly and for specific practice areas
- Pre-trained classifiers for document type and clause type
- Broad range of fact extraction, such as:
- Monetary amounts, non-monetary amounts, percentages, ratios
- Conditional statements and constraints, like "less than" or "later than"
- Dates, recurring dates, and durations
- Courts, regulations, and citations
- Tools for building new clustering and classification methods
- Hundreds of unit tests from real legal documents
