We are developing an Internet based agent designed to assist legal researchers in retrieving laws and case reports electronically warehoused at a diverse set of databases maintained by local, state, and federal governments. LawBOT is implemented as a collection of agents which are employed according to users' preferences to collect, filter, organize and recommend relevant case histories, state statutes or supreme court cases. Our goal is to create a system that can be effectively used not only by lawyers but also by the lay person to retrieve legal documents relevant to the issue that the user wants to research.
