The problem LawAdvisor solves
Our mission is to harness the power of AI to decode legal complexities, automate processes, and improve judicial efficiency, ultimately paving the way for a more equitable and accessible justice system.

LawAdvisor is an Automated Legal Insight Project that uses Mistral AI, an open source Large Language Model (LLM) finetuned on IPC & CrPC Datasets, to analyze First Information Reports (FIRs) and generate insightful reports. The application also allows users to search the Crime and Criminal Tracking Network and Systems (CCTNS) database for relevant information.

Features:
Upload PDF or image files of FIRs and extract the text using optical character recognition (OCR) with the help of Tesseract.
Generate IPC and CrPC suggestions based on the situation extracted from the given prompt.
Download the generated report as PDF files for further use or sharing.
Search the CCTNS database using accused name and valid identity proof and get the results stating whether they are a repeating offender.
Visualize the data of CCTNS in a dashboard format with the help of graphs and charts.

Challenges we ran into

Visualization and Integration of CCTNS data was a major hassle as the data was not provided, so we had to make a dummy dataset which would mirror the real CCTNS data. Along with that, The tesseract OCR being used for OCR Scanning was also havingtroubles scanning pdfs which had filters on pages, but we overcame that by popping out the pages as seperate images and scanning them efficiently with the help of parallel processing.
