๐Ÿง  Inspiration Indiaโ€™s legal system is overburdened, with lawyers drowning in repetitive, time-consuming contract work. As a second-year law student, Iโ€™ve seen first-hand how much time goes into basic tasks like redlining, compliance review, and legal research โ€” all of which could be made faster and smarter using AI. I wanted to build something that genuinely saves lawyers hours, reduces legal errors, and brings GenAI into daily legal workflows.

โš–๏ธ What it does Speedy Justice is an AI-powered legal assistant built for Indian lawyers. It automates: ๐Ÿ” Legal query answering with short, cited memos using Indian case law โœ… Contract compliance checks with clause-level analysis, legal basis, and risk ratings โœ๏ธ Clause redlining with original vs. suggested edits, explanations, and ICA grounding All tailored to Indian Contract Act standards and built to function in real legal scenarios.

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ How I built it Frontend: Built entirely using Bolt, no-code logic builder AI: Powered by Gemini Pro, using prompt engineering + light RAG structure Hosting: Deployed live via Netlify Data: Indian Contract Act, case law examples, and handcrafted clause datasets UX Design: Simplified clause upload, copy-paste fallback, and output tagging (risk, reasoning, ref)

๐Ÿšง Challenges I ran into PDF/DOCX text extraction was unreliable in no-code, so we added manual paste options. Training prompts to avoid generic or hallucinated answers โ€” especially for Indian law โ€” took a lot of tuning. As a solo student founder, balancing UX design, legal accuracy, and AI behavior was hard without a team โ€” but rewarding. ๐Ÿ† Accomplishments I'm proud of Got clause-level legal reasoning working for redlining, not just rewriting text Built a working MVP with real outputs, not just mock screens Created meaningful outputs lawyers can actually use (compliance reports, clause rewrites, and risk flags)

๐Ÿ“š What I learned GenAI can drastically cut legal grunt work, but only if grounded in real law and human workflows Simpler UX beats feature overload โ€” clarity builds trust in legal tools Indian legal tech needs local context โ€” one-size-fits-all wonโ€™t work

๐Ÿš€ Whatโ€™s next for Speedy Justice Integrating Supabase backend for clause storage, user accounts, and smart libraries Expanding to other Indian statutes (e.g., Labour Law, IT Act) Launching a beta with lawyers to validate real-time use Adding feedback loops to improve redline accuracy via user votes
