AI-Based Legal Query Assistant
Introduction
The legal domain is often complex, time-consuming, and costly for the common citizen. With
a rising number of legal cases and increasing delays in the justice delivery system, there is a
pressing need to integrate modern technologies into judicial processes.
This project explores the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to simplify legal queries,
provide cost-effective legal assistance, and enhance access to justice by offering data-driven
insights and case predictions. By automating legal information retrieval and comparing
similar past cases, the system aims to assist users with relevant, reliable, and simplified
legal support.
Problem Statement
The judicial system in many countries suffers from issues such as:
- Case backlog and delays in proceedings.
- Difficulty for the public in understanding legal procedures.
- High cost of hiring legal professionals for simple queries.
- Limited access to similar past case data for reference.
There is a lack of an intelligent system that can provide users with legal insights, suggest
possible outcomes based on historical data, and make the entire process cost-effective and
user-friendly.
Need for the System
- To reduce dependency on lawyers for minor or repetitive queries.
- To save time and money for individuals by automating basic legal advice.
- To simplify legal language and provide understandable answers to common people.
- To recommend similar past cases, outcomes, and possible next steps.
- To promote transparency and access to justice for all.
- Helpful for non-legal individuals, startups, and small businesses facing legal issues.
Expected Outcome
- Users can enter a legal query and get:
- Summary of similar past cases.
- Date, court, and outcome of similar cases.
- Possible outcomes for their case based on AI prediction.
- The system will:
- Suggest legal documents or steps required.
- Work as a cost-friendly assistant for legal queries.
- Reduce complexity and enhance access to justice.
