Description du projet
Un outil pour aider les avocats à préparer leur dossier
Au cours d’un procès et après celui-ci, les avocats doivent traiter des quantités considérables d’informations; ils doivent en effet trouver ces informations, les organiser et les utiliser. Cependant, des détails essentiels à leur dossier peuvent facilement être négligés, par exemple en raison des difficultés liées à la recherche et au suivi des informations de la cour ou du tribunal. Le projet VIZLEGAL, financé par l’UE, permet aux avocats et aux bibliothécaires juridiques d’accéder à des millions de décisions, de dépôts de documents judiciaires, de dates de procès et d’autres données qu’ils peuvent ainsi suivre ou rechercher. VIZLEGAL fournit également des renseignements sur les litiges dans deux juridictions. Cette solution novatrice améliore déjà l’efficacité des professionnels du droit dans la localisation et l’utilisation des informations juridiques provenant des sites web des organismes publics des États membres ou des institutions européennes.
Objectif
Vizlegal is a legal intelligence platform that empowers legal professionals to track, search and save critical legal information from EU institutions and the courts of a growing number of member states. Traditional systems are focussed on making large amounts of text searchable; Vizlegal proposes to scale our system for converting valuable public information into data, thus opening opportunities for new artificial intelligence and analytics products.
Our research says that lawyers are confronted with a number of serious issues when it comes to their work. These include; having to search court filings systems repeatedly to see if something has changed or happened; learning a key judgment relevant to them has been issued, months after the fact; inability to tell what rules of court apply in certain circumstances; inability to search or track key decisions of quasi-judicial public bodies in multiple member states.
Vizlegal aims to solve these issues by converting public government information into data, and offering new tools to address these issues. We have built a sophisticated Extract/Transform/Load (ETL) system to grab pubic information, structure it, parse it, and put it into a growing legal Application Programming Interface (API).
This API serves a web application currently serving a growing list of customers. It is also serving a data marketplace provider for UK-based finance companies. We aim to expand our data extraction via ETL, and gain more customers via a) a focus on niche data ignored by other providers and b) a ratio of accessible information to price unseen before in the industry. We will be liberating closed data into open data, and serving a key industry in any member state, and internationally. We believe that the data we gather can offer enormously valuable future products in the analytics and intelligence sphere.
