This paper describes our submission to the SemEval-2023 for Task 6 on
LegalEval: Understanding Legal Texts. Our submission concentrated on three
subtasks: Legal Named Entity Recognition (L-NER) for Task-B, Legal Judgment
Prediction (LJP) for Task-C1, and Court Judgment Prediction with Explanation
(CJPE) for Task-C2. We conducted various experiments on these subtasks and
presented the results in detail, including data statistics and methodology. It
is worth noting that legal tasks, such as those tackled in this research, have
been gaining importance due to the increasing need to automate legal analysis
and support. Our team obtained competitive rankings of 15$^{th}$, 11$^{th}$,
and 1$^{st}$ in Task-B, Task-C1, and Task-C2, respectively, as reported on the
leaderboard.
