CanDoo: AI-Powered Legal Research Assistant

CanDoo is an innovative browser extension designed to revolutionize legal research on CanLII (Canadian Legal Information Institute). By integrating artificial intelligence directly into your browsing experience, this tool transforms how legal professionals and students access case law and legislation.

Key Features

• Smart Search Enhancement: Automatically suggests relevant legal concepts and related cases as you type queries
• Case Summarization: Generates concise AI-powered summaries of lengthy court decisions
• Precedent Analysis: Identifies key judicial reasoning patterns across multiple cases
• Statutory Interpretation: Highlights relevant sections and historical amendments in legislation
• Citation Network: Visualizes how cases reference each other within the CanLII database

How It Works

After installing the CanDoo extension, users simply navigate to CanLII as usual. The AI assistant activates automatically, adding intelligent features to the standard interface. When viewing a case, contextual buttons appear offering:

• One-click summary generation
• Key legal principle extraction
• Related case suggestions
• Judicial citation analysis

Benefits for Legal Professionals

CanDoo significantly reduces research time while improving result quality. Lawyers report saving 30-50% of their typical research time when preparing for cases. The AI's ability to surface obscure but relevant precedents helps build stronger legal arguments.

For law students, the tool serves as an educational aid, helping identify core legal principles in complex judgments. The summarization feature is particularly valuable when reviewing multiple cases for exams or research papers.

Data Privacy Commitment

CanDoo processes all data locally in your browser without storing searches or accessed documents. The extension only communicates with CanLII's official servers, maintaining the same privacy standards as using CanLII directly.

Currently available for Chrome and Firefox, CanDoo represents the next evolution of legal research technology - bringing sophisticated AI assistance to one of Canada's most important legal resources.
