Problem
Legal research and document review in Nigerian and Commonwealth jurisdictions are time-intensive, requiring lawyers to manually sift through thousands of case precedents and citations to identify authoritative rulings. Generic AI tools often hallucinate or fail to account for the hierarchical weight of landmark Supreme Court decisions, leading to unreliable outputs and inefficiencies in legal workflows.
Solution
Dockase offers Amicus, a legal AI platform built specifically for counsel, combining a fine-tuned Amicus-Instruct-7B reasoning engine with the amicus-embed-ng-v1 embedder for domain-adapted semantic search. The system interfaces with a custom vector space and citation network to draft briefs, analyze precedents, and answer complex legal queries with senior-associate-level precision and zero hallucination. Its Amicus Authority Graph Engine (AAGE) maps the entire web of Nigerian case law using the Amicus Jurisprudence Graph Schema, automatically elevating highly cited Supreme Court judgments in retrieval results. The Dockase Vault lets users upload case files, ledgers, statutes, and contracts into private rooms that become searchable corpora, enabling "Ask the Room" queries and grounding drafting agents in firm-specific precedents. The platform also supports agentic workflows that automate entire legal lifecycles, from client intake to bit-level contract review, executing multi-step processes autonomously.
Target Audience
Primary customers are law firms and legal departments in Nigeria and other Commonwealth jurisdictions, including forward-thinking practices like Glawly, docfide, and Bluestone LLP, that need reliable AI-assisted legal research and document automation. The Vault also serves finance and accounting teams running audit files, tax records, and statements.
