Artificial Intelligence (AI) has catalysed a paradigm shift in legal analytics, enabling datadriven interrogation of judicial texts across jurisdictions [1, 2]. Yet, despite these advancements, the administration of justice remains mired in inefficiency—case backlogs, spiralling litigation durations, and eroding public trust plague courts globally [3, 4]. In Turkey, where the Civil Chambers of the Court of Cassation saw an 8.6% rise in average case duration (221 days in 2023 to240 days in 2024)[5], the crisis underscores the unsustainability of traditional legal practices. Legal Judgment Prediction (LJP), which leverages Natural Language Processing (NLP) to automate outcome forecasting via case fact analysis [6], offers transformative potential. However, its application to agglutinative languages like Turkish and sector-specific disputes, such as construction, remains critically underexplored. The Turkish judiciary’s hierarchical structure—comprising Courts of First Instance, Regional Courts, and the precedent-setting Court of
