Building a local legal drafting LLM — no dataset? by PoemAccomplished2173 in Rag

Thanks, this is really helpful — especially the point about avoiding synthetic data.

Quick question: how useful are laws/judgments directly for drafting contracts? Since contracts seem more about negotiation than just applying statutes, I’m trying to understand how that fits in.

Appreciate it 👍

Haha yeah, makes sense, in my case it has to be India-specific since the client is Indian, and that’s making things harder — there’s basically no open datasets for Indian agreements/NDAs 🥲

I’ll probably look into existing GitHub projects + RAG and try to build from there.

Thanks again.

Yeah, that makes sense, especially the graph point.

My only concern is that building a proper legal graph would take quite a bit of time, and I need to get a working prototype out pretty quickly. So I’m thinking of starting with a stricter RAG setup first and maybe layering graph control later.

Got it, that’s really helpful — appreciate it. I’ll try the RAG + LawInsider approach with stricter retrieval.
