摘要

This study provides an empirical assessment of whether current large language models (LLMs) can pass the written part of the official qualifying examination for membership in Poland’s National Appeal Chamber (Krajowa Izba Odwoławcza). The authors examine two related ideas: using LLM as actual exam candidates and applying the ’LLM-as-a-judge’ approach, in which model-generated answers are automatically evaluated by other models. The paper describes the structure of the exam, which includes a single-choice knowledge test on public procurement law and a written judgment, and presents the hybrid information recovery and extraction pipeline built to support the models. Several LLMs (including GPT-4.1, Claude 4 Sonnet and Bielik-11B-v2.6) were tested in closed-book and various Retrieval-Augmented Generation settings. The results show that although the models achieved satisfactory scores in the knowledge test, none met the passing threshold in the practical written part, and the evaluations of the ‘LLM-as-a-judge’ often diverged from the judgments of the official examining committee. The authors highlight key limitations: susceptibility to hallucinations, incorrect citation of legal provisions, weaknesses in logical argumentation, and the need for close collaboration between legal experts and technical teams. The findings indicate that, despite rapid technological progress, LLMs (specifically the non-reasoning ones) cannot yet replace human judges or independent examiners in Polish public procurement adjudication.
