A drafting tool for the advocates who do the day-to-day work of the district courts.
India changed its criminal law. The IPC, CrPC, and Evidence Act gave way to the BNS, BNSS, and BSA — and overnight, every format an advocate had relied on was citing the wrong sections.
For a young advocate in a district court, that is not an academic problem. A bail format pulled from an old blog still cites Section 437 CrPC. The registry sends it back. The hearing is tomorrow. The work that should go into the argument goes into re-checking section numbers and re-typing the cause title instead.
We kept seeing the same pattern: capable advocates losing hours to formatting and section-mapping, on documents that follow a predictable structure. That is the gap Lawie was built to close.
Lawie's templates are designed against current Indian court formats. Every section cited in a generated document is validated against the official IPC→BNS, CrPC→BNSS, and IEA→BSA correspondence tables before it reaches your draft.
The court-formatting rules — how a cause title reads for a District Court versus a High Court, which clauses are mandatory, where the verification sits — are encoded per state and court level, and reviewed against published court requirements. It is detailed, unglamorous work, and it is the part that makes a draft court-ready rather than merely well-written.
More states and court levels, more document types, and support for drafting in Hindi alongside English. The goal stays the same: get an advocate from a blank page to a court-ready document in minutes, on the current law, for the specific court in front of them.
