Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the intelligence exhibited by machines or software. Expert systems are one of the common applications of artificial intelligence. Legal expert systems are programs which can reason and think like lawyers. There is an urgent need to develop a legal expert system for the people to solve their legal troubles in order reduce problems to people frequently arising legal solutions or legal queries, there is a need legal lawyer is mandatory, so there is an urgent need for the use of practical AI solutions in many of areas for problems which people encounter in their daily lives. This research paper introduces the introduction, structure, applications or review of a legal expert system. This paper also discusses the advantages, new tools and various research aspects in low expert systems. This paper intends to outline current research trends which are found in low expert systems literature.
