Abstract
Perhaps underestimated, however, is how particularly crucial the role of legal education becomes where the legal systems concemed fall into the category of so-called "mixed jurisdictions."lFor in such systems, legal players must be capable of playing two games at once, which requires that they be trained to juggle with, and yet never confuse, two distinct sets of rules.Only if legal players can properly accomplish this will the integrity of the various games being played be preserved.In mixed jurisdictions, therefore, it is the very identity of the legal games, not just their respective dynamism, that is at stake for legal education.As one such mixed jurisdiction, Quebec is faced with a singularly onerous educational challenge.Because all matters of private law are governed in Quebec by a system of rules rooted in the continental tradition of civil law,2 law students in Quebec must be trained as civilian jurists.At the same time, Quebec's membership in the Canadian federation3 entails its endorsement of the Anelo-Saxon tradition of 1.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
