Title:A Tree-of-Thoughts Inspired Hybrid Approach for Legal Case Judgement Summarization using LLMs
Abstract:In recent times, Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly being used for legal case judgement summarization. Most prior works have tried traditional extractive and abstractive summarization of case judgements. However, hybrid or extractive-abstractive techniques have not been explored much. In this work, we propose a novel tree-of-thoughts inspired extractive-abstractive summarization approach for legal judgement summarization. We conduct experiments using two popular LLMs, DeepSeek and LLama, and compare among extractive, abstractive and extractive-abstractive summarization. Our experiments show that the proposed extractive-abstractive prompt provides better summaries compared to other types of LLM prompts.
