Abstract:
Most of the people of Pakistan especially the needy and lower class citizens are illiterate
or lack access to proper resources to comprehend the family laws or seek legal assistance.
Unfortunately, there is lack of such programs in Pakistan currently.
LawBotPK is a web based platform that uses Natural Language Processing to provide
assistance for legal queries pretaining to family law. With a user friendly interface, users
can ask their query related to any family matter and in response the system provides legal
assistance by identifying relevant laws and sections. The project’s significance lies in
it’s ability to bridge the gap between legal knowledge and the general public in Pakistan
where many individuals may lack awareness of the specific laws applicable to their family
matters. It offers users access to valuable information on family laws, helping them
navigate legal complexities with clarity.
In conclusion, LawBotPK could be a strong step in the development of legal tech intended
to address a key issue of enhancing the legal literacy level of the population. Thus, utilizing
NLP to understand and answer legal questions guarantees the ready availability of
key legal information for users, enhancing the general public’s knowledge and increasing
their autonomy.
