00033cbf6a23cff23f28 | It depends on the game and what you copy. Games are an utter nightmare when it comes to IP law as so many parts of them cannot be copyrighted. Game rules for example cannot be copyrighted, nor can the concept itself. Some things can be copyrighted or trademarked. You cannot use the following: Names Written elements- wh... | |

000830d650f4ae38fc9c | Strict liability in tort (for money damages in a lawsuit) is generally imposed when there are good reasons for someone to be responsible notwithstanding a lack of personal fault (and sometimes there are "back door" fault aspects). Some of the common categories in the U.S. are: Strict liability of an employer or princip... | |
000d5c4bc0776ffb2371 | I am not familiar with the technical details of what you are talking about but I can offer some legal context.

0015bdeec5ebee1fe60c | "The Holy See owns all copyrights in the works published under its name or created on its commission (art. 5)."

00247d38dcdcdd546b0e | It certainly sounds like it. They suddenly changed their minds about interviewing you when they found out about your condition without giving a good reason.

002a4b6d5bad8830ab7a | There is no country where it is common for attorneys to represent clients who are not identified. Many countries would allow this to be done, at least to some extent, but the practical considerations insure that it is never common. Attorneys generally issue invoices that they need to be able to collect upon if they go ... | |
0031734c6aba88ee2a76 | Although the term acquis is very commonly (almost always?) used to refer to EU precedent, the word roughly translates as "that which has been agreed" and there's no reason that other legal communities can't use it to refer to their own body of previous decisions. Perhaps Wikipedia and Wiktionary are both misleading in ... | |
0034de9220ab57841c93 | There is no general right to download a copy of a book. You may acquire such a right from the rights-holder when you buy a physical book, but otherwise that would be illegal copyright infringement.

003e9b7a0e8113673eac | tl; dr: Maybe, maybe not, but trouble seems likely. Your text files are clearly derived from Dr. Seuss' books, so you normally need the permission of the copyright holder of the books. You mention "fair use" as a possible way around this.

0044b1d0f442f139cc47 | Jurors cannot directly disqualify each other. However, they can inform the trial judge if they have reason to believe that one of their peers should be discharged.

00472f5d16352220315a | No, such a restriction is not effective. The Supremacy Clause of the Constitution, and other sections as well, provides otherwise. This was settled early on in the history of US Jurisprudence In Fletcher v. Peck , 10 U.S. (6 Cranch) 87 (1810) Justice Johnson wrote for the majority at 10 U. S. 136 ( et seq ) and 10 U. S... | |
004d0b0f6c234994c621 | In legal usage "forfeit" can be used in any of several ways. Most commonly it refers to someone who owns something losing it because of their actions.

004f1c37f85f047bd43a | In general: If the contract specifies some term (or "duration"), then it can only be modified in accordance with its own terms. When the employment contract expires any future employment term is subject to negotiation, and benefits could certainly be modified at that time. There are exceptions to this in labor law, but... | |
00526ee13c425546acb6 | Courts consider the ages of all children obviously - what else would make sense?

0066c3baa119630d38ec | Your premise is a little off, which changes the question somewhat.

0066f40c4765d96482ca | I assume that you mean something in the nature of a music or dramatic performance.

0067e7ed759c3ae4f04e | You cant give legal advice if you arent a lawyer. If you give someone advice, its a smart thing to tell them that its not real legal advice you are giving them.

006907a1e0fb1078966f | Maritime law has a lot of weird rules, but the normal rule of statutory construction is that scienter requirements -- intent, knowledge, recklessness, etc. -- apply to everything that comes after them, until a new scienter requirement is stated. That would leave you with a statute looking like this: A person liable sha... | |

006e96b82077967050d7 | It doesn't really require anything beyond your say-so that it is what you say it is; that would be enough to satisfy the requirement for authentication.

007bec95e4bd03726a38 | Since the contingency is in the contract and has not been removed, if the purchase falls through due to not selling the existing property, they will get their earnest money back. That was the whole point of putting the contingency in the contract in the first place. | |
007f517fa059fe025fe1 | It will be fact-specific, but potentially not unlocking your phone for such a reason could be a "reasonable excuse".

00d99413cef10543b583 | In the US, the burden of proof in a civil case is distinct from that in a criminal case (it is true that in European systems, the plaintiff must prove their claims beyond reasonable doubt, but we're talking about US law here). The particular statute, RCW 46.63.075 , does somewhat favor the state as plaintiff, stating t... | |
00dedee3fc8f9a432d2e | The process of collecting a judgment once you win one is really no different in small claims court than it is in any other court, and as you note, it isn't easy.

00e1ddd6961041008ba2 | Why might Martin Shkreli's lawyer announce to the public that Shkreli's not making any more statements? To try to get the media to leave Shkreli alone, which Shkreli might appreciate. That is one valid motivation for making such an announcement. | |
00e2077a27ba13bfed2a | The resolution in Connecticut is a statement that has been agreed by the state's legislature, but is not a law.

Law Stack Exchange — Training, unified schema
A seeded sample of ymoslem/Law-StackExchange, made into retrieval training pairs and reshaped into the strict schema shared by every dataset in this collection. One of the 15 domain sources (code, medical, science, finance, legal) added to the collection's general sources.

Schema
| config | columns | rules |
|---|---|---|
queries |
id: string, text: string |
ids unique and non-empty; every query has ≥ 1 qrel |
corpus |
id: string, title: string, text: string |
title is always present ("" when the source has none) |
qrels |
query-id: string, corpus-id: string, score: int32 |
referential integrity to both tables; no duplicate pairs; no floats |
hard-negatives |
query-id: string, corpus-id: string, rank: int32, source: string |
one row per negative; (query-id, corpus-id, source) unique; never a labelled positive of the same query |
teacher-scores |
query-id: string, corpus-id: string, teacher: string, score: float32 |
one row per scored pair (positives included); a row means scored — never a placeholder |
Files are Parquet, sorted by id, zstd-compressed, sharded at 500 MB. Every rule above is checked before publishing; provenance.json records the source revision, what changed, and the output file hashes.
What changed from the source
- sampled: a seeded random sample (seed 1) of up to 25,000 pairs
- reshaped: the question title and body (HTML removed, at most 2,000 characters) are the query, the highest-scored answer (HTML removed, at least 40 characters) the document
- decontaminated (exact): a pair was dropped when its normalised query equals any evaluation query, or a positive equals a document of a test or dev corpus; a repeated query keeps its first pair
- decontaminated (near-duplicates): 5 passages that nearly copy an evaluation document some evaluation query judges relevant, and 4 queries that nearly copy an evaluation query (word 13-grams for passages, 8-grams for queries; at least half shared with one text of the 23 test sets (BEIR, RTEB, LitSearch) or the 6 dev sets) were removed, and with them 9 queries in total; near copies of evaluation-corpus documents that no evaluation query judges relevant were kept
- text: leading and trailing whitespace stripped; otherwise as converted above
- ids re-keyed to
sha1(text)[:20]: 0 documents and 0 queries collapsed into identical texts - added a
titlecolumn filled with""(the source has none)
Hard negatives and teacher scores
Filled by the collection's annotation pipeline (annotation=jina35). Interim: the candidates are final, the teacher scores are still to come.
- Candidates: dense retrieval with
