Welcome to Legal Up, your trusted companion for finding the right lawyer! This project is designed to recommend suitable lawyers to clients based on a concise description of their case, typically within 40-50 words. Our system leverages natural language processing and advanced matching algorithms to understand client requirements and connect them with lawyers possessing the relevant skills and expertise to provide tailored legal solutions.

• Did Not Work Folder 📂: This folder contains a previous attempt at the project, which utilized vector table databases. This approach was unsuccessful due to the team's inexperience with such databases.

• API Folder 🌐: Inside this folder, you will find the index.py file, which serves as the main server for the backend of the application. This is where the core functionality of the Legal Up lawyer recommendation system resides.

• Frontend Folder 💻: The frontend of the application is stored in this folder. It includes all the React components and necessary files for the user interface.

1. Client Query Analysis 📝: Legal Up utilizes machine learning models to extract essential features from the client's query, enabling a deeper understanding of their legal requirements.

2. Recommendation Engine 🧲: The system includes a recommendation code that matches clients with the most suitable lawyers based on the extracted features and the lawyers' expertise.
