AI Legal Assistant for IPC

The legal framework is a critical component of societal structure, yet its complexity often leaves individuals struggling to understand their rights and obligations. This paper introduces an advanced NLP-based chatbot designed to enhance legal accessibility and comprehension, focusing on the Indian Penal Code (IPC). The proposed system integrates Large Language Models (LLMs) and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) techniques to provide precise and contextually relevant legal information. The chatbot utilizes NLP algorithms for interpreting legal texts and generating user-friendly responses, thus facilitating a better understanding of legal articles and statutes. Streamlit is employed to create an interactive user interface, ensuring a seamless experience for users seeking legal advice. The implementation of this system aims to bridge the gap between complex legal language and public understanding, improve the efficiency of accessing legal information, and support individuals and small businesses in navigating legal challenges. This approach is anticipated to significantly enhance legal awareness and accessibility, contributing to a more informed and legally savvy society.
