Suits & Chatters

Inspiration

Constitutional law and, more specifically, Moot Court. Since law students practice debate through this medium as well as others, like mock trials.

What it does

It takes in the user input for a constitutional case and outputs an argument from the opposing counsel. It also outputs rebuttals so the user can further strengthen their own case. There are three pages of information representing each group within a court: the prosecution, the defense, and the judge. In which we implemented a page for the user and recorded all their arguments. As well as the argument and rebuttal of the opposing counsel, given by OpenAI, as well as the judge, who provides questions that could be brought up in this case.

How we built it

We utilized OpenAI as a wrapper to provide the legal questions to and have it answer the legal-specific questions and return an argument from the perspective of the opposing stance, which it will detect from yours.

Challenges we ran into

Some of the challenges we ran into were trying to merge different version from members, causing a lot of merge conflicts. Also, we ran into issues with OpenAI's rate limit due to inefficient use of calls.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We're really proud of how our team came together to focus on one single issue that unites us. This is especially impressive considering we had members in different languages such as js, python, and c...

What we learned

We learned that technology can be used to really make an impact on all sorts of industries, such as the education industry that we focused on . We also learned that curiosity is all you need as we all came from different stacks, but were still able to come together to using Next.js & React because we were willing to learn.

What's next for Suits & Chatters

In the foreseeable future, Suits & Chatters will focus on training its own AI to create response more suited to our consumer's use case. In addition, we plan to more rigorously cross reference our responses with legal databases in order to turn our site into one that not only students, but also professionals in the law industry can trust.
