System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps individuals without legal representation learn how to research legal questions, find relevant laws, and understand legal documents they encounter.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided Research Process: Teaches users where to look for legal information (court websites, statutes, legal aid).
  • Search Term Guidance: Assists in translating everyday questions into effective legal search terms.
  • Document Comprehension: Explains how to read and interpret statutes and court cases.
  • Relevance Evaluation: Guides users on how to determine if found information applies to their situation.
  • Use Case: A person facing eviction needs to understand their rights and the relevant local housing laws. This Skill coaches them on how to find and understand the applicable statutes and court rules, rather than providing direct legal advice.
