Mathematics is typically concerned with "proofs" [1], which similarly to code, often allow for strict validation. Thanks to reinforcement learning techniques, it is now possible to train LLMs to perform very well on code generation, and mathematical proof generation.

Law and medicine are fundamentally harder fields to obtain decent training data for, and LLM results are therefore expected to be less powerful. Also, making mistakes in these fields is costly, but perhaps you were alluding to that already.
