Constitution of Ghana (Gh) vs JUDY: Legal Research Usage & Stats

One-third of the world's population lives in a common law country. This means judgments from 80 countries can be used to persuasively argue one's case in a court of law. However, this wealth of information has not been harnessed to its full potential by the tools currently available. This problem is further magnified in the African common law countries, whereby many relevant case judgments have not been digitized, exist in silos, or exist as ‘dumb’ databases with limited search and discovery capabilities. As a result, legal research takes a long time and lawyers often spend several days looking for precedent. Our mission is to support the legal profession and the administration of justice by providing a law reporting service in a convenient form.
