The dataset maps the text and title of each legal question posted into one of eleven classes, based on the original Reddit post's "flair" (i.e., tag). Questions are typically informal and use non-legal-specific language. Per the Legal Advice Reddit rules, posts must be about actual personal circumstances or situations.
