When to load this lens

Load this lens for person-name detection in legal documents. It is a focused PERSON detector; case, docket, bar, and Bates numbers are handled by Phileas's pattern-based detection, not this model.

Pairs well with

  • General Purpose: Person-name detection tuned for general English text. Phileas handles dates, phone numbers, emails, URLs, and structured identifiers via its pattern-based layer; this lens focuses on people's names.

What this lens detects

  • PERSON: people’s names as they appear in legal text.

This is a name-only lens. Case, docket, bar, and Bates numbers are detected by Phileas’s pattern-based (regex and validation) layer, not by this model. Compose this lens with that layer for full coverage.

Why this lens

Legal documents are dense with citations, docket and case numbers, party roles, and court names that a general model can confuse with people’s names. This lens is tuned for name precision in that context; Phileas detects the legal identifiers.

When to use this

  • Court filings, pleadings, and discovery productions.
  • Docketed correspondence and case management records.
  • E-discovery pipelines where party and counsel names must be found.

Known limitations

  • Names only. This lens detects PERSON. Other PII is handled by Phileas’s pattern-based detection; compose accordingly.
  • English only. Names only; legal identifiers are detected by Phileas, not this model.

Use this lens with PhEye, Phileas, or Philter
