Justifi

Inspiration

We wanted to be able to help all individuals access justice.

What it does

A platform with a legal chatbot named Juris that is trained off thousands of legal case studies in North America that aims to make legal assistance accessible to people of all socioeconomic status.

How we built it

This innovative technology presents two features. First, a landing page that explains our need to make justice more accessible. Second, a chatbot that gives free legal consultation as the next best alternative to professional legal advice. First we used Python to scrape thousands of case studies from Harvard Law School’s Caselaw Access Project. Next we used python scripts to classify these casefiles several categories of law, turning them into prompts used to train a Large Language Model. Our frontend was created using React and and we linked it to our Open AI Chatbot.

Challenges we ran into

We had trouble recieving messages from the Open AI API, so in the end we just connected our landing page to the Chatbot on ChatGPT that we trained.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Were very proud of the process in which scraped thousands of case studies from Harvard Law School's Caselaw Access Project using a python web scraper. We then took our time to create prompts from these case studies using a python script and then trained a Large Language Model with these prompts.

What we learned

We learnt how to utilize LLM's, an innovative technology that is taking the world by storm, and we were able to use it to make justice more accessible to individuals of all socioeconomic status.

What's next for Justifi

We plan to integrate the Open AI API to run the chat bot in our own chat interface. We also hope to deploy this application and spread the word so we can impact as many lives as possible.
