LegiNote Project Development Story 1 - Idea

Hello, this is StatPan.

I'm going to share the development story of my side project, Leginote, with you all from today onwards.

The Inspiration Behind LegiNote

Interest in legal tech is heating up.

Legal tech has led to the emergence of various technologies and companies related to law, but the direction of these technologies seems to be limited to a relatively narrow scope.

While reading the above, I had the following question.

The Missing Piece in Legal Tech: The Story of 'Creating' the Legal (Legal)

Judgments, legal consultations, etc., all seem to focus on resolving legal conflicts between parties under existing laws.

However, these conflicts are all bound by established law, determining what is legal and illegal. While it's true that amending or enacting laws is not easy, if we prepare for legislation favorably, perhaps even before resorting to litigation with lawyers, we could prevent many situations from arising in the first place. This is what led me to consider LegiNote.

Legislative Legal Tech, LegiNote

Legislation refers to bills, and Note implies a record.

I'm starting a project called LegiNote by combining these two words.

The project's goals are as follows:

1. Just as legal tech has made it easy for people to access various court judgments, I believe it would be beneficial if people could easily access parliamentary bills, meeting minutes, and other related documents.

2. In the age of artificial intelligence, I want to contribute to improving legislative efficiency by enabling stakeholders to leverage AI-powered services.

3. I aim to contribute to the smart and data science-driven operation of the domains of parliament and politics by integrating AI into these areas.

The above goals represent the service content limited to data science, and I plan to actively incorporate additional ideas that emerge during the project's progress.
