JurIA
An AI-powered legal research platform for Morocco, France, and OHADA — sourced answers from official texts, in Arabic, French, and English, with JuriCoins pricing and a security model built around law 09-08.
JurIA is an AI legal platform for the Moroccan legal market — a market where source texts are multilingual, fragmented across portals, and rarely annotated. The positioning is direct: "L'IA de référence pour le droit" — legal research, document analysis, and sourced answers built from the official texts of each jurisdiction.
Problem
Lawyers, legal researchers, compliance teams, notaries, and students spend hours cross-referencing the Moroccan Bulletin Officiel, codes, and OHADA conventions in French and Arabic. Search portals return documents; nobody returns answers. And a chatbot that returns plausible-sounding answers without sources is worse than a slow search — it's a professional liability.
Approach
JurIA is a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipeline serving four audiences:
- Avocats & cabinets — accelerate research and dossier preparation.
- Juristes d'entreprise — secure decisions with answers grounded in the texts.
- Notaires & adouls — verify applicable provisions in seconds.
- Étudiants & chercheurs — explore Moroccan law with a pedagogical assistant.
Technical core:
- Corpus: official legal texts normalized from PDF and scanned sources into structured documents.
- Grounding: hybrid retrieval (dense + keyword) over Milvus with metadata filtering by jurisdiction and document type.
- Generation: answer synthesis that cites the exact article and source, with Arabic, French, and English support across Morocco, France, and the OHADA space.
- Hallucination management: the model can only answer from retrieved passages; anything ungrounded is refused, not guessed.
- Security: encryption, role-based access, and a compliance posture built around Morocco's law 09-08.
Key decisions
- Jurisdiction as a first-class filter — Morocco, France, and OHADA have different legal systems; conflating them is worse than no answer at all.
- Citations by default — every answer carries its source. That's the difference between a research tool and a chatbot.
- Simple, commitment-free pricing — plans in JuriCoins, no subscription lock-in, so cost scales with actual use.
Status
In development. The live preview is on juria-ma.vercel.app. The corpus pipeline and retrieval layer are the current focus — I've written the full engineering playbook in Production RAG for Legal Research — and when the accuracy bar is met, it becomes a fully launched product under the X-Ecosystem.
