JUDY is a platform for lawyers, judges, law students and anyone interested in the law seeking digitized legal materials including statutes and case law in Ghana and Nigeria going back to the 1930s. In addition to its user-friendly interface, the system uses AI to facilitate searches and upgrade content. A team of lawyers edits language, formats judgments and annotates principles established in a case. JUDY’s mission is to support the legal profession and the administration of justice. When lawyers work better, it is easier for people to find justice.
