How Much Do Legal RAG Systems Still Hallucinate?
Hallucination is a major challenge for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems in the legal domain, where ungrounded answers can lead to serious consequences. To better understand this problem, we conduct a fine-grained analysis of hallucination behavior in eight legal RAG systems across two legal corpora, the GDPR (in English) and a national civil law (in French). Using claim-level and answer-level evaluation, we report on hallucination density and severity, analyze performance across question categories and user personas, and validate our findings on an independent set of 142 legal-expe
