# Thank you for contributing an eval! ♥️

🚨 Please make sure your PR follows these guidelines, __failure to follow
the guidelines below will result in the PR being closed automatically__.
Note that even if the criteria are met, that does not guarantee the PR
will be merged nor GPT-4 access granted. 🚨

__PLEASE READ THIS__:

In order for a PR to be merged, it must fail on GPT-4. We are aware that
right now, users do not have access, so you will not be able to tell if
the eval fails or not. Please run your eval with GPT-3.5-Turbo, but keep
in mind as we run the eval, if GPT-4 gets higher than 90% on the eval,
we will likely reject since GPT-4 is already capable of completing the
task.

We plan to roll out a way for users submitting evals to see the eval
performance on GPT-4 soon. Stay tuned! Until then, you will not be able
to see the eval performance on GPT-4. We encourage partial PR's with
~5-10 example that we can then run the evals on and share the results
with you so you know how your eval does with GPT-4 before writing all
100 examples.

## Eval details 📑
### Eval name
Illinois Law Cases

### Eval description

This eval tests the models ability to correctly identify the case
conclusion for Trespassing, Battery, Assault, and Self-Defense. The
dataset is consisted of 88 Illinois Historical cases representing 112
legal claims. Some cases have multiple claims, each coded as a different
test case.

### What makes this a useful eval?

This assesses the model's ability to correctly categorize these
historical cases. Correctly identifying these results shows the models
capability for a strong understanding of law. The GPT-3.5-turbo models
currently receives an accuracy of 0.45.

## Criteria for a good eval ✅

Below are some of the criteria we look for in a good eval. In general,
we are seeking cases where the model does not do a good job despite
being capable of generating a good response (note that there are some
things large language models cannot do, so those would not make good
evals).

Your eval should be:

- [x] Thematically consistent: The eval should be thematically
consistent. We'd like to see a number of prompts all demonstrating some
particular failure mode. For example, we can create an eval on cases
where the model fails to reason about the physical world.
- [x] Contains failures where a human can do the task, but either GPT-4
or GPT-3.5-Turbo could not.
- [x] Includes good signal around what is the right behavior. This means
either a correct answer for `Basic` evals or the `Fact` Model-graded
eval, or an exhaustive rubric for evaluating answers for the `Criteria`
Model-graded eval.
- [x] Include at least 100 high quality examples (it is okay to only
contribute 5-10 meaningful examples and have us test them with GPT-4
before adding all 100)

If there is anything else that makes your eval worth including, please
document it below.

## Eval structure 🏗️

Your eval should
- [x] Check that your data is in `evals/registry/data/{name}`
- [x] Check that your yaml is registered at
`evals/registry/evals/{name}.yaml`
- [x] Ensure you have the right to use the data you submit via this eval

(For now, we will only be approving evals that use one of the existing
eval classes. You may still write custom eval classes for your own
cases, and we may consider merging them in the future.)

## Final checklist 👀

### Submission agreement

By contributing to Evals, you are agreeing to make your evaluation logic
and data under the same MIT license as this repository. You must have
adequate rights to upload any data used in an Eval. OpenAI reserves the
right to use this data in future service improvements to our product.
Contributions to OpenAI Evals will be subject to our usual Usage
Policies (https://platform.openai.com/docs/usage-policies).

- [x] I agree that my submission will be made available under an MIT
license and complies with OpenAI's usage policies.

### Email address validation

If your submission is accepted, we will be granting GPT-4 access to a
limited number of contributors. Access will be given to the email
address associated with the merged pull request.

- [x] I acknowledge that GPT-4 access will only be granted, if
applicable, to the email address used for my merged pull request.

### Limited availability acknowledgement

We know that you might be excited to contribute to OpenAI's mission,
help improve our models, and gain access to GPT-4. However, due to the
requirements mentioned above and high volume of submissions, we will not
be able to accept all submissions and thus not grant everyone who opens
a PR GPT-4 access. We know this is disappointing, but we hope to set the
right expectation before you open this PR.

- [x] I understand that opening a PR, even if it meets the requirements
above, does not guarantee the PR will be merged nor GPT-4 access
granted.

### Submit eval

- [x] I have filled out all required fields in the evals PR form
- [x] (Ignore if not submitting code) I have run `pip install
pre-commit; pre-commit install` and have verified that `black`, `isort`,
and `autoflake` are running when I commit and push

Failure to fill out all required fields will result in the PR being
closed.

"system", "content": "In 2007, the Cocrofts obtained a loan for $386,750
from Countrywide Bank, FSB secured by a mortgage on the home they
already owned in Country Club Hills, Illinois. The loan closed on April
17, 2007. At the time of the closing, Countrywide improperly failed to
inform [the Cocrofts] of the real source of funding for their loan.
Plaintiffs also contend that Countrywide violated TILA by failing to
inform them that they had three days to rescind the loan and by failing
to disclose the total sale price and itemize the amount financed, as
well as by failing to make unspecified prepayment disclosures. The
Cocrofts claim that Countrywide understated the total finance charges
for the loan by more than $5,000. Plaintiffs claim that they learned of
Countrywide's misrepresentations in June 2009. They decided to exercise
their right under the provisions of TILA to rescind the loan. On July 1,
2009, they mailed notice to that effect to BA, the successor to
Countrywide, and to MERS. The Cocrofts do not say what if anything
happened as a result of those notices, but on September 29, lawyers
working for HSBC contacted them and stated that HSBC was ready to begin
foreclosure. HSBC claimed that it was the trustee of a trust that
included their loan. The Cocrofts, however, contend that the transfer of
their loan into the trust was defective. They sent HSBC's lawyers two
cease and desist letters, notifying HSBC that they had rescinded the
loan. They allege that after receiving one of the cease and desist
letters, HSBC informed them that it had no interest in the loan and that
they needed to contact the loan's servicer, Roundpoint Mortgage.
Plaintiffs also sent a copy of the rescission documents to BAC, which
they identify as the actual servicer of the loan. HSBC brought a
foreclosure action in Illinois state court on January 19, 2010. [From
below:] defendants unlawfully entered [the plaintiffs'] home by
conducting a self-help eviction of the plaintiffs and changing the locks
on their home in August 2008. At the time, [plaintiffs] had made
arrangements to rent the property in the short term and then to sell it,
and defendants' actions disrupted the sale."}, {"role": "user",

"system", "content": "Defendants, on January 15, 1915, with force and
arms broke and entered the close of the plaintiff, to-wit, the southeast
quarter of the northeast quarter of section 16, township 4, south, range
3, west, in Pike county, Illinois, and cut down and destroyed 500 hedge
trees and a certain fence belonging to plaintiff situated on said land.
Defendants cut down the south half of a hedge fence which for many years
prior to February, 1915, stood upon the line between the southeast
quarter of the northeast quarter of said section 16 (hereinafter
referred to as the east forty) and the southwest quarter of the
northeast quarter of said section 16 (hereinafter referred to as the
west forty). On and prior to February 13, 1866, both of these forty-acre
tracts belonged to a man named Teadrow. On February 13, 1866, Teadrow
conveyed the west forty to Benjamin Newman, and on February 15, 1866,
conveyed the east forty to Oliver P. Rice. When these conveyances were
made there was a hedge fence on the north half of the line and a wooden
fence on the south half of the line between the two tracts. In 1868
Benjamin Newman, the owner of the west forty, removed the wooden fence
and set out a hedge fence on the south half of the line between the two
tracts. Thereafter, during the separate ownership of the tracts,
Banjamin Newman trimmed and otherwise cared for the hedge fence on the
south half of the line and Rice trimmed and looked after the hedge fence
on the north half of the line. In December, 1888, Rice conveyed the
southeast quarter of the northeast quarter of said section 16 to
Benjamin Newman, the latter thereby becoming the owner of both tracts.
Thereafter, during the ownership of both tracts by Benjamin Newman, he
required the tenants of the west forty to take care of the south half
and the tenants of the east forty to take care of the north half of the
hedge fence on the line between the two tracts. On June 22, 1904,
Benjamin Newman executed and delivered to his daughter, F. Eva Newman,
the plaintiff, who has since married J. O. Conklin, a warranty deed,
conveying to her two hundred acres of land, including the southeast
quarter of the northeast quarter of said section 16, referred to herein
as the east forty, but not including the tract referred to herein as the
west forty. This deed contained the provision that 'this deed is not to
take effect until after the death of the grantor, Benjamin Newman.' The
wife of Benjamin Newman, who is still living, did not join in the
conveyance. At the same time plaintiff executed and delivered to her
father the following written instrument signed by her: 'Whereas Benjamin
Newman has this day conveyed to me certain tracts and parcels of land in
Pike county, Illinois, to take effect after his death, I hereby agree to
pay the taxes on said land in lieu of all rents that I would otherwise
have to pay, (this does not affect any rent that is now due,) and in
consideration of my paying said taxes I am to receive all the rents,
profits, etc., that may accrue on said land.' When the conveyance was
made to plaintiff the tract in controversy known as the east forty was
in the possession of Joseph Gifford as tenant and the west forth was in
the possession of John B. Newman, a grandson of Benjamin Newman, as
tenant of Benjamin Newman. When [the plaitiff's] father delivered the
deed of June 22, 1904, he took her upon the east forty and told her and
Gifford, the tenant, that he was placing her in full possession of the
tract; that she was to receive all the rents and profits from the land
and was to keep up the repairs and pay the taxes; that she was to have
the south half of the fence on the line between the east forth and the
west forty and was to keep up that part of the fence, and that George
Newman, his son, to whom he then intended to deed the west forty, should
keep up the north half of the fence, and that thereafter plaintiff and
her tenants kept the south half of the fence in repair while the tenants
in possession of the west forty made repairs to the north half of the
fence. During the month of January, 1915, a controversy arose between
plaintiff and Defendants regarding the ownership of the hedge fence,
each party claiming the south half of the fence. During the month of
February, 1915, Defendants, over the protest of plaintiff, cut down the
south half of the hedge fence on the line between the east forty and the
west forty and erected a wire fence in the place thereof."}, {"role":

"system", "content": "The city of O'Fallon installed a sewer system in
about 1926. In 1961, due to backups into homes serviced by the system,
the city built an overflow outlet on East Madison Street. The overflow
was to relieve pressure in the sewer system during periods of heavy
rainfall; it proved successful in preventing backups into nearby homes.
However, when water escaped through the overflow, raw sewage was also
discharged into an open ditch that flowed into a neighboring pond. In
December 1974, the city of O'Fallon closed the overflow. On January 10,
1975, and on subsequent dates, sewage backed up into the plaintiff's
house following heavy rainfall. The January 10 backup was the worst,
causing water to accumulate in the plaintiff's finished basement to a
height of 25 1/2 inches. The lower level of the plaintiff's modern,
ranch-style home contained a family room with fireplace and built-in
bookshelves, bedroom, closet, bath and utility room with washer, dryer,
furnace and water heater. The walls were watermarked, and the tile floor
was damaged, as were the furnishings, appliances and many irreplaceable
family items such as family photographs and slides. The lower level of
the house was virtually unusable for a year, and the plaintiff had to
expend considerable time, effort and money in repairing the floor,
repainting the walls, and replacing and removing damaged personalty. The
city knew the blocking of the overflow would cause some backup, although
they were not aware that it would be as severe as it was. From January
until April or May 1975, when the city reopened the overflow, the city
attempted to alleviate the pressure in the sewer system by pumping the
water from the sewers into open ditches during periods of heavy rain.
The defendant used either large or small pumps, depending upon the
amount of water in the system. The backups into Mrs. Dial's home ended
after the overflow was reopened in April or May 1975."}, {"role":

"system", "content": "the plaintiff, his wife, Beatrice, and daughters,
Aurora and Angela, lived at 313 East Marquette Street in Ottawa. The lot
upon which their home was located was eighty-eight feet wide and one
hundred thirty feet deep. The home of the defendant was immediately east
and adjoining the Galvan lot, and their residences were about forty feet
apart and separated by a hedge fence. According to the testimony of the
plaintiff, he, the plaintiff, arrived at his home about five o'clock on
Friday afternoon, June 19, 1953, from his work as a bricklayer's helper.
After he had had his evening meal, he left home about seven o'clock,
paid a coal bill to a Mr. Burke, and then he and Burke went to a tavern
where they remained an hour and a half, during which time the plaintiff
drank two bottles of beer. Mr. Burke went home, and the plaintiff
proceeded to another tavern and remained there until after midnight. At
the second tavern he had four or five bottles of beer. He than proceeded
to another tavern, where he remained for fifteen minutes, and had a
glass of beer there. He then proceeded homeward, entering his lot at the
rear, and singing as he went along. Sitting upon the steps of the back
porch of his home were his wife and daughter, Angela, and when the
plaintiff arrived there he stopped singing. He refused his wife's
suggestion to go into the house and go to bed but sat down on the porch
step, took his shoes, socks, and hat off, cursed the mosquitoes, laid
down on the ground under a pear tree three or four feet from the
southeast corner of the steps of the rear porch and immediately went to
sleep. The plaintiff's wife and daughter, Angela, remained on the porch
steps after the plaintiff had laid down under the pear tree. About
fifteen minutes after he had gone to sleep, the daughter observed the
defendant coming very slowly through the hedge from his property onto
the Galvan premises. He had a knife in his hand and, without a word,
proceeded to cut the prostrate body of the plaintiff. The other daughter
of the plaintiff, Aurora, was in the house asleep but was awakened by
her sister and ran to the yard and saw the defendant 'slashing' at her
father with a knife. She called to the defendant to stop and ran for
help. Police officers arrived shortly thereafter, and they testified
that they found the plaintiff lying on the ground about six feet from
the porch of his home all covered with blood and with his hat and a pair
of shoes and socks lying next to his body. The blood was all in one
place and in the form of a pool near the pear tree. An ambulance was
called, and the plaintiff was removed to the Ryburn-King Hospital."},

"system", "content": "Since September 2000, plaintiff regularly visited
a patient at the Illinois Department of Human Services Treatment and
Detention Facility ('Facility') in Jolict, Illinois. From May 4, 2005 to
May 11, 2005, plaintiff was subjected to patdown searches by defendant
Martin, a Security Therapist Aid II at the Facility, in which defendant
Martin placed her fingers in plaintiff's vaginal area and required
plaintiff to remove her shoes prior to being allowed to visit the
patient. Such searches occurred at least four times during the
aforementioned time period. After plaintiff's complaints to Bernard
Akpan, an Exec. 11 at the Facility, and defendant Strock, the Assistant
Security Director of the Facility, and facility patient Brad Lieberman's
complaints to defendant Budz, Director of the Facility, defendant
Sanders, Security Director of the Facility, and defendant Strock,
plaintiff was no longer required to submit to patdown searches by
defendant Martin. Rather, plaintiff's visits were preceded by a Rapiscan
scan of her person. According to plaintiff's complaint, a Rapiscan
machine is an electronic screening device used to scan a person's entire
body. 'These machines produce a naked image of the person and can also
produce evidence of highly sensitive details such as the following:
mastectomies, colostomy appliances, penile implants, catheter tubes, and
the size of a person's breasts and genitals' From May 17, 2005 to June
19, 2005, plaintiff was subjected to 20 to 25 Rapiscan scans.
Plaintiff's complaint further alleges that other Facility staff members
were allowed to view her scanned image, her scanned image was not erased
from the machine, and staff members viewed her image hours after she was
scanned, all without her consent. Additionally, while later told that
she should have had the choice between the Rapiscan scan or a physical
patdown prior to visiting a patient, plaintiff was never informed of
such a choice during the two months she underwent the Rapiscan scans."},
