In this video, Assoc. Prof. Jakub Drapal from Charles University, Prague discusses one of the core challenges of law: the fact that the law in books often differs significantly from how it is applied and experienced in practice. He also talks about his new ERC research project and how large language models (LLMs) can help analyse judicial decisions and provide new insights into criminal behaviour.
