Inspiration

Wrongful convictions affect thousands of individuals, yet reviewing parole hearing transcripts for bias and innocence claims is tedious and time-consuming. We wanted to leverage AI to help legal advocates quickly identify cases with the strongest potential for exoneration.

What it does

JusticeLens is an AI-powered legal case analysis platform that:

• Analyzes parole hearing transcripts to extract key case information
• Detects commissioner bias with severity scoring and quoted evidence
• Calculates innocence scores based on claims, evidence quality, and wrongful conviction indicators
• Generates structured legal memos with case details, people mentioned, and potential theories
• Enables team collaboration with case assignment, comments, and a Kanban pipeline

How we built it

• Frontend: React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, shadcn/ui
• Backend: Lovable Cloud with PostgreSQL database and Edge Functions
• AI Analysis: Gemini/GPT models for transcript parsing, bias detection, and memo generation
• Real-time: Live updates for team collaboration features

Challenges we ran into

• Accurately detecting nuanced commissioner bias from transcript language
• Balancing innocence score weighting across different evidence types
• Building a flexible pipeline that adapts to different legal workflows

Accomplishments that we're proud of

• Comprehensive bias detection with severity levels and direct quotes
• Multi-module analysis system (legal memo, bias, people extraction)
• Team invite system with shareable links for collaboration

What we learned

• How to structure AI prompts for reliable legal document analysis
• Importance of RLS policies for multi-team data security
• Building accessible UI for complex legal workflows

What's next for JusticeLens

• Email notifications for case updates and mentions
• Integration with legal case management systems (Lawmatics)
• Expanded AI analysis for additional document types
• Commissioner tracking across multiple cases for pattern detection
