Abstract
Understanding legal paperworks are a challenge as it's filled with hard-to-understand legal jargon and long sentences. Going through these papers by hand takes a lot of time and can lead to mixed results. Within this document is introduced the Smart Legal Assistant a system rooted in AI geared for the automation of legal document scrutiny through the avenues of extracting clauses, sorting them semantically, and evaluating risks. In practice the assistant is capable of taking both PDF and DOCX files breaking them down into segmented clauses by abiding to a set of predetermined rules and then goes on to classify each clause utilizing derivations from the models from transformer-based natural language processing techniques. Clauses are given a risk severity rating to point out terms that could be harmful or critical. FastAPI used in the backend for development and use of React in the frontend to make a review interface that interact with users. Exploring the output of the suggested setup it was observed that it notably slashes the time spent on going through documents and steps up the quality of how clear and consistent they are structured; all of these together these characteristics have made it a fitting choice for both academic work and the initial stages of legal reviews.
