**What are the Lawma models useful for?** We recommend using the Lawma models only for the legal classification tasks that they models were fine-tuned on. The main take-away of our paper is that specializing models leads to large improvements in performance. Therefore, we strongly recommend practitioners to further fine-tune Lawma on the actual tasks that the models will be used for. Relatively few examples --i.e, dozens or hundreds-- may already lead to large gains in performance.
