The progression of a nation’s justice system is intricately linked to its overall national growth trajectory. However, concerns have been raised about the sluggish pace of justice in Nigeria. Despite these challenges, a beacon of hope shines through constant technological innovation, particularly in the realm of Artificial Intelligence (AI).

This was the central theme discussed by the team at Africa’s premier legaltech company, LawPavilion Business Solutions Ltd, during a recent press conference. The company shed light on how harnessing the potential of AI could usher in a new era for the legal landscape.

Speaking at the press conference, Ope Olugasa, the MD/CEO of LawPavilion, highlighted the imperative for Nigeria’s legal system to embrace the capabilities of artificial intelligence. As technology rapidly evolves and Generative AI raises the bar in the AI landscape, he stressed the need for industries, individuals, and companies to adopt AI tools for transformative services. Drawing parallels with the remarkable growth witnessed in Nigeria’s banking sector due to fintech innovations, Olugasa underscored the untapped potential that effective technology utilization can bring.

Building on this conviction, Olugasa announced LawPavilion’s groundbreaking advancement set to be unveiled at the NBA Conference – the launch of Prime GPT and Primsol GPT. These two revolutionary AI-driven platforms have the potential to redefine the realms of legal drafting and advocacy.

Olugasa emphasized that the strategic adoption of AI by LawPavilion goes beyond being a mere catchphrase; it’s a steadfast commitment to seizing an unparalleled opportunity for transformation. Expounding on the trajectory of the AI-powered Justice Revolution, Olugasa outlined a phased approach involving lawyers, judges, and citizens. He expressed LawPavilion’s readiness to spearhead this transformative journey through PrimeGPT and PrimsolGPT – innovative AI solutions meticulously crafted to empower legal professionals with comprehensive insights, streamlined decision-making, enhanced efficiency, and heightened precision in their legal research and advocacy.

“With the incorporation of Generative AI GPT into our trusted legal research tools – Prime and Primsol, lawyers do not have to lose a case again on the grounds of technicality,” Olugasa remarked.

Damilola Ibikunle, the head of Digital Transformation Unit at LawPavilion, elucidated the significance of PrimeGPT and PrimsolGPT. He described these platforms as more than products; they embody innovation and a resolute commitment to elevating legal practitioners’ practice to unprecedented heights. These state-of-the-art offerings leverage the potent capabilities of AI and advanced algorithms to revolutionize the landscape of legal research, promising accuracy, efficiency, and profound insights.

In a captivating demonstration of PrimeGPT and PrimsolGPT’s operational mechanics, Olalekan Sogbein, head of Products at LawPavilion, illustrated how legal practitioners can effortlessly input case summaries into the platforms. Within seconds, the generative AI delves into LawPavilion’s extensive legal database, extracting pivotal insights encompassing jurisdiction, subject matter, commencement modes, and issues for determination. It then offers possible legal arguments and supporting authorities. This streamlined process empowers legal professionals with a robust foundation for crafting persuasive legal briefs and arguments that remain steadfast even in the face of complexity.

Olugasa passionately clarified concerns about AI leading to job displacement among lawyers. He emphasized that AI’s role is to free lawyers from mundane tasks, allowing them to focus on more intellectually stimulating and value-driven activities. He asserted that PrimeGPT and PrimsolGPT are meticulously designed to empower lawyers to achieve more within a shorter span, expanding their capabilities to handle multiple briefs efficiently. Olugasa highlighted how time-consuming preliminary research can now be accomplished in minutes. He firmly stated that AI will not replace lawyers; rather, lawyers who harness AI will replace those who don’t.

Addressing the potential for PrimeGPT and PrimsolGPT to predict case outcomes based on briefs, Olugasa disclosed that this is an aspect LawPavilion is exploring for the second phase of the platforms. He assured attendees that the second phase would be launched in a matter of months after the inaugural phase.

Regarding concerns about AI’s accuracy, particularly considering occasional inaccuracies, Olugasa affirmed LawPavilion’s awareness of this aspect. He underlined that PrimeGPT and PrimsolGPT were developed specifically for lawyers, leveraging authentic legal data from LawPavilion’s comprehensive resources. However, he emphasized the need for due diligence by legal practitioners, as AI is meant to enhance, not replace, their work.

As for subscribing to PrimeGPT and PrimsolGPT, Olugasa revealed that lawyers can currently pre-order these platforms before the official launch at the upcoming NBA Conference. He extended an invitation to forward-thinking legal practitioners eager to steer the wheels of justice in Nigeria. He encouraged them to visit LawPavilion’s exhibition booth at the NBA Conference to witness firsthand the revolutionary capabilities of PrimeGPT and PrimsolGPT and to seize the opportunity to subscribe.
