Problem Statement | Legal professionals often spend a significant amount of time sifting through vast amounts of data in search of similar cases.
The Solution | EcliChecker's advanced search feature allows precise queries using keywords, case IDs, or legal articles, providing instant results. It's a solution designed to streamline the process, enabling users to access ECLI (European Case Law Identifier) information quickly and efficiently.
Key Features | The platform aims to provide access to all relevant details regarding a specific case, including the name of the judge, verdict date, links, reference articles and relevant case law. Legal professionals with diverse technical backgrounds can efficiently save valuable time and resources, enabling them to focus on the essential aspects of their work.
Transforming Legal Information Access | The EcliChecker project aims to revolutionize the way legal professionals access and analyze case information, providing a powerful tool that enhances productivity, efficiency and accuracy within the legal field.
My Responsibilities | As a link connecting investors, stakeholders, engineers, and end users, I spearheaded the product discovery phase. Our tasks included mapping user personas, defining pain points, leading the team through divergent and convergent phases, creating interactive prototypes, testing MVPs, and iterating.
I managed communication, oversaw the product lifecycle, handled UX/UI design, coordinated team members and stakeholders, addressing any potential issues to ensure our project remained on track.
Step 1: I conducted meetings with the project client to delve into their needs and those of their users, pinpoint specific challenges, and establish overarching goals. Following this, I conducted surveys and interviews to gather data for creating user personas and user journeys. Additionally, I performed competitive analysis and benchmarking against rival products and services.
Step 2: I led brainstorming sessions during the ideation phase to address challenges faced by identified user personas so we could develop corresponding solutions. We then honed our focus on a single solution, starting the wireframing phase and adding extra features to the product backlog.
Step 3: Presented an interactive prototype of the wireframe to our development team to evaluate its feasibility within reasonable timeframes. Following this internal assessment, I presented the prototype to the project client and obtained their approval to commence with UX design.
Step 4: After completing the UX design for the application, we moved on to the testing phase, where we subjected the MVP prototype to evaluation by end users, systematically collected feedback, and iterated as necessary.
Step 5: Initiated the UI design stage and supervised application development through to product launch.
The User Flow | By utilizing advanced filtering technology, end users—including individuals, groups, and companies in the legal sector, can swiftly access relevant ECLI data by either pasting the text or uploading PDF files. This functionality empowers them to make informed decisions and improve workflow efficiency.
Users have the flexibility to choose between viewing a group of ECLIs in a tabular format or accessing a detailed view of a specific ECLI. This allows them to review information and select the ECLI they wish to explore more deeply.
Upon selecting an ECLI of interest, users can delve further into its details. They can seamlessly continue their research and repeat this process for additional cases as necessary.
