Abstract—The Indian jurisprudence is extensive and intricate, much of the time demanding legal professionals to search manu- ally for applicable Indian Penal Code sections for a specific case. This is a time-consuming and error-prone process for individuals not familiar with the in-depth intricacies of the law. To meet this challenge, we suggest the creation of an automated Law Case Recommendation System that uses Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Machine Learning (ML) methods to suggest applicable IPC sections from a case description.
Our system takes in textual inputs (case descriptions) and uses state-of-the-art NLP models like BERT and Legal-BERT to interpret the context and identify key legal characteristics. Through training on annotated case law and IPC section datasets, the system learns to relate case facts with the most relevant legal provisions. Our model is capable of resolving the vagueness and variability in legal language while providing accurate and interpretable suggestions.
The system is implemented as an easy-to-use web application, allowing legal practitioners, law students, and even non-lawyers to easily find applicable IPC sections for their cases. Through automation, our solution seeks to make legal research more efficient, minimize manual labor, and increase access to justice. Future developments involve multilingual capabilities, inclusion of case law suggestions, and real-time updates to accommodate changes in legal codes.
This project fills the gap between technology and law, illustrat- ing the potential of AI to revolutionize the legal field. It is a useful resource for legal professionals, academics, and researchers, opening doors to further creative uses of AI in the legal field
