Legal Agent Benchmark (LAB): An open-source benchmark for evaluating agents on real legal work.
Harvey LAB is an open-source project aimed at benchmarking LLM agents' abilities to perform legal work in realistic environments.
LAB consists of two parts: a dataset of tasks containing agent instructions, documents, and rubrics as well as an execution harness for running and evaluating agents against those tasks.
LAB is an ongoing project and we expect to consistently add to and refine the task set and execution harness.
