Legal work demands verifiable sources and precise citations. Law RAG solves this by: - Grounding every response in an explicit legal knowledge base. - Retrieving the relevant legal articles first, then generating answers strictly from those sources. - Ensuring accuracy, traceability, and legal reliability. ### Approach: Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) 1. Retrieval → fetch relevant legal provisions from authoritative laws. 2. Augmentation → structure a prompt with the retrieved articles. 3. Generation → LLM produces the cited legal answer. Result: answers with article-level provenance. ## Features 🔹Searches 568 legal articles across 3 Rwandan laws. 🔹Returns answers with exact article citations. 🔹Retrieves multiple relevant provisions for multi-article reasoning. 🔹Detects non-legal questions and responds appropriately. ## Laws Covered (Rwanda v1.0) | Law Scope | ------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------ | | Constitution of Rwanda (2003, revised 2015) | Fundamental rights, governance, judiciary | | Penal Code (Law No. 68/2018) | Criminal offences and penalties | | Labor Law (Law No. 66/2018) | Employment relations and conditions …
