JUDY launches question and answer platform – a community of legal minds at your fingertips

To say that legal questions are limited to lawyers and law students and other legal industry professionals is untrue. Legal issues arise in the day-to-day activities of many industry professionals, even professionals in more informal sectors.

Daily, many people encounter legal questions, concerns and occasionally enquiries simply out of curiosity on a wide variety of legal issues. Recognising this, the JUDY question and answer platform is uniquely developed to be your fast and responsive legal research aid, helping you ask legal questions and get consistent, helpful, and verifiable answers for FREE.

The option to ask and answer legal questions is not only available to JUDY’s over 33,000 and counting subscribers but is also available to everyone in Ghana and Nigeria at no cost! The platform was built to offer an efficient way of getting answers to your legal research questions from a community of knowledgeable individuals, creating threads of interesting and teaching legal conversations available to all.

JUDY was built to ease legal research for anybody that needs it, and this question-and-answer platform is evidence of this goal.

Many lawyers are faced with the task of referencing legislation and case law very often. Sometimes, the law can be unclear or conflicting on different matters. This question-and-answer platform is ideal in its ability to allow legal professionals access to other like-minded people that will help in their understanding of and application in various legal issues.

Legal professionals can also start and engage in interesting debates in their spare time by launching question threads on the platform.

The platform is also crafted with law students in mind to give them a way to get prompt responses to legal questions that they have. Successfully tested in the Ghana School of Law and Mountcrest University College, the Q&A platform along with JUDY’s other products was described by many law students as the “necessary addition to their studies that they didn’t know they needed”. Indeed, law students can now find complete and convincing ways to argue out answers to their never-ending questions under topics like circumstantial evidence, which requires strong arguments that are rarely backed by readily available precedents.

JUDY is truly excited about the launch of this platform because it will prove to be very useful to everyone. People that do not work in the legal industry can quickly ask about any and all legal issues they have, such as an unlawful eviction by the landlords of their shops and homes and have helpful cases like Mrs. Denise Kyei Asenso and 6 others v. Samuel Manu Abayie and 10 others which are likely to be relatable to many tenants, provided for them as a strong backing for the answers they get on the platform.

From time-consuming questions that require scrolling through lengthy laws and case judgements, to random questions that pop into your head and make you want to find the position of the law on them without the hassle, JUDY’s question and answer platform is certainly your best bet at finding answers to all your legal queries.

On the platform, you can also join conversations by answering questions or commenting on answers that have previously been provided.
