2021: Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation creates Digital Lawyer for 230 million rubles
In early May 2021, it became known about the plans of the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation to create the Digital Lawyer service and spend 230 million rubles on it. This was reported in the published departmental program of digital transformation.
As explained to Kommersant in the Ministry of Justice, Digital Lawyer will be a text and voice bot capable of providing legal advice on the basis of the current legal field. The service will also help find the necessary regulatory acts.
The department called one of the main differences between Digital Lawyer and other legal advice services - the first was trained on an array of regulatory acts of the Russian Federation. It is noted that the system can be used on any information resources, both state and commercial.
All the capabilities of Digital Lawyer will be free for users, assured the Ministry of Justice. According to the calculations of the ministry, in 2023 the number of users of the technology will be measured 20 million. In total, the department intends to spend 908.5 million rubles on the introduction of digital technologies until 2023.
Pavel Lavrenkov, a member of the commission on legal support for the digital economy of the Moscow branch of the Russian Bar Association, says that Russia already has bot lawyers advising citizens. However, such systems are often aimed at solving one particular user problem.
According to the expert of Moscow Digital School Efim Kazantsev, by May 2021 there is no full-fledged bot in Russia that gives meaningful legal advice. There are similar services, but they are only a search engine based on regulations and judicial practice.
Digital Lawyer has ambitious goals, said Maxim Stepanchuk, a lawyer at the Delcredere Bar Association. In addition to the fact that it is planned to assemble a large-scale user base from scratch, the automatic assistant should have 100 thousand answers and 100 thousand voice dialogues, he said.[1]
