We present LEGAL-BERT, a family of BERT models for the legal domain, designed to assist legal NLP research, computational law, and legal technology applications. Our models are trained on a large corpus of legal texts and demonstrate improved performance compared to using BERT out of the box. We release our models and pre-training corpora to facilitate further research and development in this field.

You can use cURL or any other http client to run inferences:

```bash
curl -X POST \
    -d '{"input": "Where is my [MASK]?"}'  \
    -H "Authorization: bearer $(deepctl auth token)"  \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json'  \
    'https://api.deepinfra.com/v1/inference/nlpaueb/legal-bert-small-uncased'
```

which will give you back something similar to:

```json
{
  "results": [
    {
      "sequence": "where is my father?",
      "score": 0.08898820728063583,
      "token": 2269,
      "token_str": "father"
    },
    {
      "sequence": "where is my mother?",
      "score": 0.07864926755428314,
      "token": 2388,
      "token_str": "mother"
    }
  ],
  "request_id": null,
  "inference_status": {
    "status": "unknown",
    "runtime_ms": 0,
    "cost": 0.0,
    "tokens_generated": 0,
    "tokens_input": 0
  }
}

```


You can use our command-line tool [deepctl](/docs/getting-started) to run
inferences:

```bash
deepctl infer \
    -m 'nlpaueb/legal-bert-small-uncased'  \
    -i 'input=Where is my [MASK]?'
```

which will give you back something similar to:

```json
{
  "results": [
    {
      "sequence": "where is my father?",
      "score": 0.08898820728063583,
      "token": 2269,
      "token_str": "father"
    },
    {
      "sequence": "where is my mother?",
      "score": 0.07864926755428314,
      "token": 2388,
      "token_str": "mother"
    }
  ],
  "request_id": null,
  "inference_status": {
    "status": "unknown",
    "runtime_ms": 0,
    "cost": 0.0,
    "tokens_generated": 0,
    "tokens_input": 0
  }
}

```
