Features Overview
Full system capabilities (mock overview)
Advanced Interactive Legal Assistant (AILA) is a matter‑centric, AI‑powered legal workspace. It helps professionals and non‑professionals ingest and organize evidence, research law, draft and compare documents, plan strategy, and coordinate deadlines — with cited sources, explainability, and strong governance.
Who it’s for:
- Legal professionals: litigators, transactional lawyers, paralegals, in‑house counsel, and law clinics/students.
- Laypersons seeking guidance: clients, small business owners, and individuals preparing routine legal documents.
- Self‑represented litigants (SRLs): guided workflows, plain‑language summaries, and coaching tools to prepare filings and hearings, with protocols and procedures guidance.
Disclaimer: AILA is a support tool and does not replace a licensed lawyer. Output is for informational purposes only; users remain responsible for compliance with applicable law and court rules.
Procedure resources (examples): Canada — Justice Laws, Ontario Courts; USA — U.S. Courts and your local state court website. Always consult jurisdiction-specific guides.
