Chat2Find has officially released a major intelligence upgrade to its flagship legal platform, LankaLaw. Accessible at lankalaw.net, the platform now runs on a specialized Expert Legal Retrieval Engine. This update transforms generic conversational AI into a purpose-built legal research assistant that grounds every answer in Sri Lanka’s official statutory provisions, law reports, and judicial precedents.
Legal research demands uncompromising accuracy. While general-purpose artificial intelligence models can draft text quickly, they frequently struggle with legal specifics: inventing case citations, referencing outdated provisions, or conflating foreign legal principles with Sri Lankan jurisprudence. The latest update to LankaLaw solves this challenge by connecting high-speed legal reasoning directly with verified primary legal sources.
Grounding Legal Answers in Primary Sources
The upgraded LankaLaw architecture does not rely on memory alone when answering legal inquiries. Instead, it actively retrieves and analyzes relevant legislation and precedents before composing a response:
Submit Your Press Release
Get your company news, announcements, launches, appointments and events in front of a wider audience.
- Exact Statutory Section Retrieval: When an advocate or researcher asks about a specific legal procedure or offence, LankaLaw cross-references the official Acts, Amendments, and Consolidated Statutes, citing the exact sections and relevant statutory definitions.
- Verified Case Precedents: Queries regarding judicial interpretations pull directly from indexed Supreme Court judgments, Court of Appeal decisions, and the Sri Lanka Law Reports (SLLR). The system identifies the presiding bench, judgment author, and decision date.
- Direct Source Links: Every citation comes with clickable links directly to official PDFs and gazetted documents on LankaLaw. Practitioners can immediately verify statutory wording or read the full judgment text without leaving their research workflow.
Dual Research Personas: Advocate Mode and Citizen Mode
Legal information serves different needs depending on who is asking. LankaLaw now provides two tailored research modes to accommodate both practitioners and the general public:
- Advocate Mode: Tailored for attorneys, legal counsel, judges, and law students. This mode delivers academic depth, structured issue breakdowns, explicit case citations, statutory elements, and distinctions between binding legal ratios and persuasive commentary.
- Citizen Mode: Designed for company executives, small business owners, and individuals seeking practical legal clarity. It explains legal rights, remedies, and dispute mechanisms in clear, accessible language, accompanied by practical next steps and standard legal disclaimers.
Analyze Uploaded Briefs and Legal Documents
In addition to general search, legal practitioners can now upload legal documents such as plaints, contracts, petitions, or affidavits directly into the chat session. LankaLaw analyzes the provided facts and cross-references them against applicable Sri Lankan law, identifying potential statutory liabilities, relevant defenses, and supporting precedents.
Full Trilingual Precision Across Sinhala, Tamil, and English
Sri Lanka’s legal system operates across multiple languages, with cases argued in courtrooms and legislation gazetted across official languages. The new retrieval engine natively supports questions asked in Sinhala, Tamil, or English.
When answering in Sinhala or Tamil, LankaLaw provides accurate local terminology alongside recognized English statutory titles and case numbers (such as the Civil Procedure Code, Penal Code, or Industrial Disputes Act). This ensures that practitioners working in vernacular jurisdictions maintain technical precision when preparing pleadings.
Built with Continuous Quality Assurance
Behind the scenes, LankaLaw includes background query and citation logging that allows Chat2Find engineers to audit search accuracy, identify missing local precedents, and continuously refine indexing performance. This ensures that the platform consistently adheres to the highest standards of legal accuracy without slowing down response times.
