Modernizing India's Legal Research
Client: State Judiciary Departments
Executive Summary
The Indian legal system is one of the world's most complex. For State Judiciary Departments, helping 5,000+ lawyers navigate 10 lakh+ judgments was a massive challenge. Vaqil is our AI-powered answer—a legal research assistant that understands the nuance of Indian Law, bridging the gap between data volume and human accessibility.
The Challenge: A Labyrinth of Data
Information Overload
Simple keyword searches returned 50,000+ results. Finding relevant precedents took days.
Linguistic Barriers
District courts operate in regional languages, but legal databases are English-first, alienating many lawyers.
Drafting Bottlenecks
Summarizing 500-page judgments into briefs consumed 40% of billable time.
Our Solution: AI That Speaks "Legal"
Semantic Legal Search
Vector database-powered search that understands intent. "Eviction for rent non-payment in Mumbai" finds relevant cases even without exact keyword matches.
