Abstract
A substantial number of pending cases, such as 44 million unresolved cases in India only, are burdening court systems throughout the world, emphasizing the critical need for scalable technology support. Thanks to expansions in artificial intelligence (AI) and natural language processing (NLP) techniques, which have become a potent facilitator of legal automation. This paper reviews some important legal AI applications and analyzes current datasets, approaches, and research advancements across multiple jurisdictions. The paper studies mainly six legal domain tasks that have gained more researchers' interest in this area, and discusses issues and challenges that researchers face while researching in these specific legal areas, and provides a future perspective.
