ligi.ai is an AI-powered legal research platform built specifically for Malta's legal system. It combines comprehensive coverage of Maltese case law with advanced AI to deliver fast, accurate, and verifiable research results.

Here's what makes it different.

Key Features

1. Natural Language Search

Ask research questions conversationally rather than constructing complex keyword searches.

Instead of: "commercial" AND "lease" AND "termination" AND "notice"

Ask: "What are the requirements for commercial lease termination in Malta?"

The AI understands legal concepts and relationships. It recognises that terms like "forfeiture," "cancellation," "termination," and "breach" might all be relevant to your question, even when you only use one term.

2. Complete Maltese Case Law Database

Access to decades of Maltese case law from all court levels.

All case law is searchable in one platform with real-time updates as new judgments are published.

3. Verified Citations - No AI Hallucinations

Consumer AI tools like ChatGPT can generate fake legal cases. In 2023, US lawyers were sanctioned for submitting briefs citing non-existent cases generated by ChatGPT.

ligi.ai eliminates this problem through Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). The platform searches actual legal documents before generating responses. Every case citation:

Exists in our verified database
Links directly to the original judgment on ecourts.gov.mt
Includes proper citation format
Can be verified instantly

If relevant materials don't exist, ligi.ai says so rather than generating fabricated content.

4. Intelligent Filtering

Narrow results quickly:

Date Range: Focus on recent developments or historical precedents
Court Type: Filter by Constitutional Court, Court of Appeal, Civil Courts, or specialized tribunals
Specific Judges: Find decisions by particular judiciaries
Relevancy Ranking: Results automatically ranked by relevance to your query

5. Structured Legal Analysis

Each case result includes information structured according to Malta's legal framework:

Il fatti mhux kontestati tal-kaz - Undisputed facts
Talbiet tal-attur - Plaintiff's claims
Risposta tal-konvenut - Defendant's response
Fatti/evidenza migbura wat il-kaz - Facts and evidence gathered
Analizi tal-qorti - Court's analysis
Sentenzi citati mill-qorti - Cases cited by the court
Decizjoni tal-qorti - Court's decision

Plus proper citation format, court designation, date, and direct source links.

6. Automatic Research History

All searches are automatically saved. Return to previous research anytime. Build on prior work. Never lose your research trail.

The Benefits

Time Efficiency

Research that traditionally requires 3-4 hours can be completed in 10-15 minutes. This comes from instant comprehensive searches, elimination of keyword guessing, automatic cross-referencing, and pre-organized results.

Better Research Quality

The AI understands legal concepts, not just keywords. It identifies relevant materials that traditional searches might miss—cases using different terminology to address the same legal principles.

Complete Confidence

Instant verification and complete database coverage mean you've identified all relevant materials. No more uncertainty about missed precedents.

Universal Access

The same comprehensive research capabilities are available to all users—solo practitioners, large firms, junior lawyers, and senior partners alike.
