ArXi:2603.19306v1 Announce Type: cross Legal Judgment Prediction (LJP) predicts applicable law articles, charges, and penalty terms from case facts. Beyond accuracy, LJP calls for intrinsically interpretable and legally grounded reasoning that can reconcile statutory rules with precedent-informed standards. However, existing methods often behave as static, one-shot predictors, providing limited procedural for verifiable reasoning and little capability to adapt as jurisprudential practice evolves.
