We analyze 6.7 million case law documents to determine the presence of gender bias within our judicial system. We find that current bias detection methods in NLP are insufficient to determine gender bias in our case law database and propose an alternative approach. We show that existing algorithms' inconsistent results are consequences of prior research's inconsistent definitions of biases themselves. Bias detection algorithms rely on groups of words to represent bias (e.g., salary,' job,' and boss' to represent employment as a potentially biased theme against women in text). However, the methods to build these groups of words have several weaknesses, primarily that the word lists are based on the researchers' own intuitions. We suggest two new methods of automating the creation of word lists to represent biases. We find that our methods outperform current NLP bias detection methods. Our research improves the capabilities of NLP technology to detect bias and highlights gender biases present in influential case law. In order to test our NLP bias detection method's performance, we regress our results of bias in case law against U.S census data of women's participation in the workforce in the last 100 years.

Much of the world's population experiences some form of disability during their lifetime. Caution must be exercised while designing natural language processing (NLP) systems to prevent systems from inadvertently perpetuating ableist bias against peop le with disabilities, i.e., prejudice that favors those with typical abilities. We report on various analyses based on word predictions of a large-scale BERT language model. Statistically significant results demonstrate that people with disabilities can be disadvantaged. Findings also explore overlapping forms of discrimination related to interconnected gender and race identities.
Abstract ⚠ This paper contains prompts and model outputs that are offensive in nature. When trained on large, unfiltered crawls from the Internet, language models pick up and reproduce all kinds of undesirable biases that can be found in the data: Th ey often generate racist, sexist, violent, or otherwise toxic language. As large models require millions of training examples to achieve good performance, it is difficult to completely prevent them from being exposed to such content. In this paper, we first demonstrate a surprising finding: Pretrained language models recognize, to a considerable degree, their undesirable biases and the toxicity of the content they produce. We refer to this capability as self-diagnosis. Based on this finding, we then propose a decoding algorithm that, given only a textual description of the undesired behavior, reduces the probability of a language model producing problematic text. We refer to this approach as self-debiasing. Self-debiasing does not rely on manually curated word lists, nor does it require any training data or changes to the model's parameters. While we by no means eliminate the issue of language models generating biased text, we believe our approach to be an important step in this direction.1
The administrative judiciary is specialized with halting the implementation of the defected administration resolutions with unlawfulness to provide protection for people who are subject to these resolutions. However such protection requires the av ailability of several conditions which are required by the administrative judiciary lest prohibiting any abuse in halting the implementation of the administration resolutions, or disabling them without reasonable cause. As this research will introduce and discuss the concept of these conditions and their influence on halting the implementation.
This research aims to shed light on the importance of religion in the life of any human society, and that the mind regulates the lives of the people and is considered as a revelation which guides the minds and thus achieve the integrity of the huma n soul and stability, as it is important in the life of the community is the one who ensures justice and equality between people. This research deals with the social role of religion through religious definition, and define the place of religion in society, the basic components of religious system, the core of the religion ingredients (belief, myth, weather), offer some theories that addressed the relationship between religion and society (Ibn Khaldun, Karl Marx, Max Weber , Emile Durkheim), and finally a conclusion and a summary of the role of religion in social life.
The move to the principle of separation of powers in its relative meaning has a clear impact in achieving the confusion between the legal works of the state authorities. Therefore, it was necessary to search for clear criteria to identify the legal nature for those works, especially that they differ in terms of the legal system governing them. These criteria are important in distinguishing the administrative decisions form the other works which the state authorities do, especially that they are an effective tool within the hand of the administration in the face of individuals being subject to the judicial control on the one hand, and that they are liable to be canceled and modified by the administration on the other hand. In addition, the state is responsible for the harm caused by these acts to individuals. The jurisprudence and the judiciary are swinging between the two criteria even if one of them overshadows the other. This research aims to demonstrate the criteria used in distinguishing the administrative decision from the other legal works, as well as the standpoint of the Syrian, Egyptian and French jurisprudence and judiciary regarding this issue.
