Problem
Legal professionals in France spend extensive time manually searching raw court decisions to find relevant jurisprudence, often dealing with fragmented full‑text results that lack contextual links and concise legal issue summaries.
Solution
SmartLawyer offers an AI‑enhanced platform that indexes over 1.1 million French court decisions from the Cour de cassation and courts of appeal and enriches each record with a clearly formulated legal problem statement. Users can perform natural‑language, semantic searches powered by large language models, receiving instant, concise syntheses of the relevant rulings. The service also provides a real‑time Legal Graph that maps citations, reversals, and procedural lineages, enabling deeper insight into case law relationships. Integration via the open‑source MCP protocol lets external AI assistants query the database and generate argument drafts directly within their workflows. All data are sourced from official Legifrance feeds, updated daily, and hosted in France to meet GDPR requirements.
