๐ง Inspiration Indiaโs legal system is overburdened, with lawyers drowning in repetitive, time-consuming contract work. As a second-year law student, Iโve 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.
โ๏ธ What it does Speedy Justice is an AI-powered legal assistant built for Indian lawyers. It automates: ๐ Legal query answering with short, cited memos using Indian case law โ Contract compliance checks with clause-level analysis, legal basis, and risk ratings โ๏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.
๐ ๏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)
๐ง 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. ๐ 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)
๐ 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 wonโt work
๐ Whatโs 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
