AI generated and not representative in any way

The access to justice problem

The prompting problem

People in Switzerland have unanswered legal questions

The Starting Point

For those of you, who don’t know the mission of OpenJustice
Access to justice is a global challenge.
From complex legal language to high costs of representation, barriers to the accessibility of law are multifold, often leaving specifically underserved communities and people in need in challenging situations.
Daily, people in Switzerland have unanswered legal questions
A intuitive solution: use of LLMs, but the problem is that people suck at prompting LLMs, often especially underserved communities are the ones that have the least AI literacy skills and thus cannot benefit from these AI tools as much as others would
Globally, hackers, academics, open-source passionate are trying to change this situation → this has led to the creation of OpenJustice, a consortium of passionate lawyers and legal aid consults who want to make access to justice simpler, better, and more reliable for laypeople

Prompt: A person smokes weed and has 9 g in their possession.

What happens under Swiss law? Can the police seize it?

Legal experts curate fully transparent legal dialogue flows

The developers upload relevant documents for RAG-retrieval

Users chat with a chatbot

based on dialogue flow & RAG

Legal professionals are credited for dialogue flows and can leverage them for more efficient legal services
