    Startup Review: LegalTech Startup ‘Judy’ is Providing Access To Legal Research in Nigeria and Ghana

    Startup Review: LegalTech Startup ‘Judy’ is Providing Access To Legal Research in Nigeria and Ghana

    Judy Technologies is a legaltech startup that was founded in February 2018 by Bright Oleka, Sadiq Okocha, and Charles Thompson. It was the capstone project that was carried out by the three men at the Meltwater Entrepreneurial School of Technology (MEST) in Accra, Ghana.

    Judy’s unique legaltech solution

    The solution itself is an artificial intelligence-based software that is used to manage, record, analyse and present legal data in an accessible way for the lawyers and other legal researchers.

    Through its team, Judy (the software) is populated with past court cases and their judgements, editorial summaries of some of the cases as well as other instances where the cases have been cited. The software has been developed such that it is able to comprehend and respond to requests made in the natural language that lawyers use when speaking to each other.

    A feature that allows virtual collaboration between lawyers is also in place on the legaltech platform. Judy allows two or more lawyers to work together on briefs from wherever they are using the android mobile app or the web app.

    The LITE version of the mobile app was recently released for people with slow internet connectivity. It, therefore, provides them with swift access to all of Judy’s content.

    The solution provided by the legaltech company through its software is that of quality and globally-accessible legal documents that are needed for comprehensive and worthwhile research.

    Funding and pricing

    Judy’s AI-based solution can be accessed on a subscription basis. There are different pricing plans for different categories of users. To use the legal research software, Law students are charged N1,700 for their first month and then afterwards, required to pay a monthly subscription fee of N700.

    Lawyers who work solo are allowed access to Judy’s resource at a monthly subscription of N2,500, while there is the commonwealth plan for N3,500. The difference between the two plans is that the commonwealth plan gives access to legal data compiled from all countries where Judy operates now and in the future while the other does not.

    The startup raised $100,000 from MEST on September 12, 2018. In June, the startup was announced as part of the 5th cohort of the Google startup accelerator Africa. As part of the cohort, Judy will undergo a series of training alongside other top seed-stage startups from Africa.

    Competitors and what customers are saying

    One of Judy’s competitors in the legaltech space in Nigeria is Legalpedia Nigeria Limited. This startup offers online legal research, courtroom automation services and court library digitization among others. Legalpedia has been in operation since 2007 and has gradually adapted technology into its research and other legal services.

    In terms of pricing, Legalpedia has more diverse pricing than what Judy offers. It offers yearly online access to individuals for N43,000, yearly desktop access for N64,500, lifetime access for a one-time payment of N161,250 and a yearly renewal of N27,000 for updates. It also has provisions for enterprise who want to use its services.

    Startup Review: LegalTech Startup 'Judy' is Providing Access To Legal Research

    Legalpedia also allows lawyers to carry out smart searches on legal cases and summaries in its repository. A major difference is that Legalpedia is only available in Nigeria while Judy is currently available in Nigeria and Ghana, and has plans to expand beyond the two African countries.

    Judy’s legal customers are not public, however, a customer review found on the startup’s Twitter page showed a certain lawyer, Emeka Chigozie, expressing his satisfaction at the features of the software.

    #ClientReview

    This is what some our users think about JUDY!
    We strive to make legal research faster & smarter. You too can be like Emeka.

    — JUDY (@judytechnology) February 7, 2020

    From the website of both Judy, and Legalpedia, the user interface portrays Judy as more tech-forward and innovative than the other. Its cross-continent goal for legal research and affordable pricing also gives it a unique advantage and makes it more valuable for its legal audience.

    In conclusion, Judy’s solution provides unique value to legal practitioners and saves a lot of time and effort that would have been required to get the same value manually.

    For many people, managing money and knowing the ri For many people, managing money and knowing the right opportunities to invest in is still a challenge. A survey of over 2,000 youths in Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and Cote D’Ivoire by Geopoll revealed that more young Nigerians only save after spending than their counterparts in other countries.

More youths in Tanzania and Uganda set aside a fixed amount to save than in Nigeria and Ivory Coast, who are more likely to save what remains after spending

The popularity of apps like @Piggybankng and @Cowrywise has made more people curious about saving, investing and creating a financial strategy to grow their money. However, there is need for more apps that take a more deliberate and friendly approach towards gaining financial intelligence and map out a sustainable path to monetary stability.

This is where Fundall comes in. @get_Fundall is a fintech service whose app is available for download on android and iOS.

    Things are gradually returning to normal as the nu Things are gradually returning to normal as the number of covid-19 cases continues to fall. Although it may take a while before we hug people or shake hands without second thoughts, things are getting better.

Only 523 new cases were recorded between April 6 and 13. This is a slight increase compared to the 497 people that tested positive over the previous week. Two weeks earlier, Technext reported that 584 people tested positive.

The numbers show a sustained decrease in the spread of infections across the country. Indeed the Lagos state government is now confident enough to allow event centres and relaxation centres to increase their crowd capacity. Along with that, here are other developments during the week.

    Today, @Google unveils a Doodle to posthumously ma Today, @Google unveils a Doodle to posthumously mark the 74th birthday of Nigerian music legend and highlife maestro Oliver de Coque, one of Africa’s most prolific recording artists of all time.

The Doodle, created by Lagos-based graphic artist and illustrator @OhabTBJ, pays tribute to the guitarist who died in June 2008 at the age of 61, following a heart attack. The creative inspiration was drawn from De Coque’s love for the guitar, his energetic performance style, his unique music brand, and his love of tradition and culture.

    The use of Point of Sale (PoS) machines in Nigeria The use of Point of Sale (PoS) machines in Nigeria is growing but a majority of this growth is concentrated in the country’s economic capital, Lagos. According to NIBSS Instant Payment stats, the state recorded the largest number of PoS transactions in the country.

The report shows that Lagos accounted for about 70% of the total volume of PoS transactions in 2020. This represents a 100% growth in the volume of PoS transactions in the state as the volume of PoS transactions rose from 226 million in 2019 to over 453 million at the end of 2020.
