How it Works

Law Connect uses a multi-service architecture:

• Spring Boot handles core backend logic including authentication, authorization, and case/document management.
• Flask (planned module) will process AI/ML tasks like summarizing legal documents, running NLP-based analysis, and providing legal recommendations.
• React powers the frontend, offering a responsive and user-friendly interface for clients, lawyers, and admins.

The services communicate via REST APIs. Data is securely stored in relational databases, and the app is containerized using Docker for seamless deployment.
