Juicio: Indonesian Legal QA Assistant

Juicio is a specialized 7.6 billion parameter Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct model, fine-tuned by esalahterus to serve as an Indonesian legal question-answering assistant. It is designed to provide clear and accurate responses to legal queries in Bahasa Indonesia, complete with references to relevant legal grounds. A key feature is its ability to politely decline questions that fall outside the domain of Indonesian law.

Key Capabilities

• Specialized Legal Q&A: Answers questions about various aspects of Indonesian law, including contracts, civil law, criminal law, and regulations.
• Contextual Awareness: Trained to provide responses with references to specific legal bases (dasar hukum).
• Domain Filtering: Intelligently identifies and declines non-legal questions, maintaining focus on its intended purpose.
• Multilingual Support: Primarily in Indonesian, with support for Malay and English in mixed-language legal terminology.
• Efficient Training: Fine-tuned using LoRA on a cleaned dataset combining fathurfrs/qna-hukum-indonesia and ShoAnn/legalqa_klinik_hukumonline, with training accelerated by Unsloth.

Intended Use Cases

• Educational and informational purposes regarding Indonesian law.
• As a component in applications requiring legal information retrieval for Indonesian contexts.

Limitations and Important Considerations

It is crucial to note that Juicio is not a substitute for professional legal advice. Users should always consult a qualified lawyer for real legal matters. The model may occasionally produce fabricated legal citations or outdated information if laws have changed since its training data was collected. For higher factual reliability, a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) setup with a verified legal database is recommended.
