About this benchmark

What is Legal Agent Benchmark?

The Legal Agent Benchmark (LAB) is Harvey's open-source benchmark for evaluating AI agents on complex, long-horizon legal work. Tasks are scored under an all-pass standard against expert-curated rubrics, where a task passes only if every required rubric criterion (facts, conclusions, citations, structure, and analytical moves) passes.

Legal Agent Benchmark is a text benchmark evaluating models on reasoning, legal, and agents tasks. LLM Stats tracks 13 models on this benchmark, scored on a 0–1 scale. The current average is 0.0, with the leader at 0.1.

Compare leaders on the best AI for reasoning, best AI for legal and best AI for agents leaderboards.
