How we built it

Our Tech Stack

Frontend

  • Next.js 14 for scalability and performance
  • React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and Shadcn/ui for a modern, responsive UI
  • Framer Motion for smooth animations

Backend

  • LLM-powered applications using Cohere Embed, Cohere Command A, Cohere Re-Rank (Multi-Lingual), Chroma DB
  • Cloud & caching integration with *Redis
  • Flask-based API for backend services and AI interactions
  • backed with AWS Buckets

Challenges we ran into

1) Legal Complexity – Keeping AI-generated responses on track with actual real-world legal structures in jurisdictions was the greatest challenge. Since laws were vastly different in all countries, states, and even cities, we had to ensure that our AI was context- sensitive and adaptable. Besides, legal text is dense and rich in detail, so it was critically important to train our AI to interpret legal texts properly without warping critical information. 2) AI Accuracy – Training our AI to provide precise, impartial legal advice and ensuring that our AI Lawyer doesn't produce any hallucinations. To tackle this, we developed three AI Models - A cohere-based AI Lawyer Assistant , one Legal Research Agent and one Verification agent. Because of this, we tackled the problem of the credibility of the information ensuring we took details only from renowned domains. 3) Scalability – Handling enormous libraries of case laws, lawyer directories, and legal documents efficiently. We had four large databases - Case Law Vector DB, Statues Vector DB, Regulations Vector DB and Precedents Vector DB.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

1) Leveraging NLP for Legal Assistance – Using advanced natural language processing to provide accurate and context-aware legal guidance.
2) Promoting Legal Accessibility & Inclusion – Ensuring equitable access to legal aid for underrepresented and marginalized communities.
3) Democratizing Legal Knowledge – Empowering individuals with AI-driven insights, making legal education more accessible and understandable. 4) Enhancing Legal Awareness – Providing users with AI-powered insights to help them understand their rights and navigate legal complexities.
5) Bridging the Justice Gap – Making legal resources and expert assistance accessible to those who may otherwise struggle to afford or find proper legal representation.

What we learned

1) AI’s Impact on Legal Accessibility – Exploring how AI can break barriers in the legal system, making justice more approachable while ensuring regulatory compliance.
2) Responsibility of AI in Law – Developing ethical, transparent, and unbiased AI solutions that provide accurate and fair legal guidance.
3) Inclusion – Creating an intuitive and user-friendly experience tailored to individuals with little to no legal background.
