ABOUT THE CAPSTONE PROJECT
Let me introduce, AASLRA
The Argument Analysis System for Legal Research Assistance (AASLRA) is a machine learning-based analysis system that visualizes the impact of legal arguments presented in court on a ruling. The project is part of the institution's capstone program and corresponds to the area of machine learning and artificial intelligence applications in law.
It started with understanding...
According to government statistics, 20.63% of cases are pending in the Indian judiciary system. As a result, there is a delay in addressing the concerns of the victims and consequently giving judgments. It has become imperative for the country to develop a solution to increase the efficiency of our judicial system.
Each legal case involves a lot of textual data which is stored for future reference. Reading through all the information and deducing the essential arguments of the case gets burdensome.
So, we proposed
an assistive NLP-driven ML analysis system that provides a visual and summarized analysis of the arguments that positively, neutrally, or negatively impacted the ruling of the session.
PROJECT BACKGROUND
Problems we are trying to solve
When analysing past cases for references to help in their current cases, judges, paralegals, lawyers, and other legal professionals are under a tremendous amount of pressure. In order to get the most relevant arguments to support their point of view, they have to sift through a lot of information.
For the purpose of simplifying and streamlining the legal research process, our team has proposed an argument analysis system, that quantifies the impact of an argument in the ruling of the session.
PROCESS
How we approached this project
Exploration
We started the project by learning about the processes behind Indian Judiciary, understanding the need, and finding the datasets, and information for analysis.
Conception
We proceeded with conceptualizing on the system architecture and design of the model and interface.
Creation
We set motion for the development of the model, training and testing, including building the web interfaces and prototypes.
Validation & Documentation
During the phase of model testing, we also are testing our prototypes and web interfaces for a better, more accurate and insightful experience.
The capstone project is being documented in detail, which we later wish to have a patent for.

SOLUTION IDEA
Our mission with AASLRA
A detailed, accurate, time-saving, and honest, assistance to legal research.
And that's all from me
Thanks for checking this out.
