# Legal NLP Guide A skill for applying natural language processing techniques to legal texts. Covers legal document classification, named entity recognition for legal entities, contract clause extraction, case law similarity search, and court opinion summarization using modern NLP tools. ## Legal Text Characteristics Legal language presents unique NLP challenges: - **Long documents**: Court opinions average 5,000-20,000 tokens; contracts can exceed 50,000 - **Domain-specific vocabulary**: Terms of art with precise legal meanings (e.g., "consideration", "estoppel") - **Complex syntax**: Multi-clause sentences with nested qualifications and cross-references - **Citation networks**: Dense cross-referencing between cases, statutes, and regulations - **Temporal reasoning**: Effective dates, amendments, and retroactivity ## Legal Text Classification ### Document Type Classification ```python from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSequenceClassification import torch # Legal-BERT: domain-adapted BERT for legal text model_name = "nlpaueb/legal-bert-base-uncased" tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name) model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained( mod

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills --skill legal-nlp-guide --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills, a repository with 3,244 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
