Symio-ai/legal-drafter-mississippi

Model Description

Legal Drafter Mississippi generates Mississippi-specific legal documents including complaints, answers, motions, and briefs. Fine-tuned on Mississippi court filings from the 2nd Judicial District (Harrison County) and Mississippi appellate courts, the model understands Mississippi Rules of Civil Procedure (MRCP), local rules, and formatting requirements under MRCP Rule 10.

Intended Use

• Primary: Generate first drafts of Mississippi state court filings in GLACIER Stage 4
• Secondary: Suggest MS-specific procedural language, caption formats, and boilerplate
• Integration: Called during GLACIER Stage 4 for MS jurisdiction filings

Task Type

text-generation -- Instruction-tuned generation of structured legal documents

Base Model

meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct -- Consistent with FL drafter for unified fine-tuning pipeline
