Legal-Lens-500: Llama-3.1 Fine-Tuned for Legal Clarity
Developed by Akhil Reddy & Ben Gideon for ImpactHacks 2026, Legal-Lens-500 is a specialized 8B parameter model designed to bridge the "Justice Gap." It simplifies dense legal contracts into plain English and identifies potential "red flag" clauses for non-experts.
