The Verdict - Courtroom simulator

In July 2024, India rewrote its criminal law: IPC became BNS, CrPC became BNSS, the Evidence Act became BSA. But the way law students learn to argue hasn't changed: read the bare act, memorize the section, write the memorial. Nobody trains them to hold a position while a judge tries to take it apart, and by the time a real verdict comes, it's too late to learn from it.

THE VERDICT is the dress rehearsal for that moment: a courtroom built so you can find out if your argument holds up, before it actually has to.

• An AI judge, not an AI tutor. Cross-examines you instead of explaining the law: asks which section you're relying on, asks for a case, asks you to justify what you just said.

• Trained on the law that exists now. Every section and citation is BNS, BNSS, or BSA-era; no relic of a code that stopped applying in 2024, and no habit of citing the old IPC or CrPC numbering.

• No invented law, ever. Every case cited comes from a locked, pre-verified database; if a precedent doesn't exist in the record, the judge says so instead of making one up.

• The fact that changes everything. Mid-hearing, a new detail drops into the case, and the argument that was working thirty seconds ago might not survive it, recreating the pressure of a real hearing, not a scripted one.

• Someone's always arguing against you. An opposing counsel voice pushes back in real time, so you're building a case against resistance, not performing into silence.

• Starts before the courtroom does. Questioning begins at the arrest itself, testing whether you know your client's rights before you ever reach the bail argument.

• Argue it your way. Type your submissions under pressure, or speak them aloud the way you would in an actual hearing.

• Bring your own case to trial. Write your own moot problem instead of the built-in scenarios, and the judge takes that apart too.

• A cheat sheet that respects your time. Cognizable vs. non-cognizable, bailable vs. non-bailable, and rights on arrest, laid out as quick visual flows instead of another page to skim and forget.

We are looking for law students and legal professionals to beta-test our courtroom simulator. Specifically, we need feedback on how realistically the AI judge handles cross-examinations and whether the real-time pushback from the opposing counsel feels authentic. We’d also love collaborators to help verify that our system strictly adheres to the new BNS, BNSS, and BSA frameworks and properly handles mid-hearing fact changes without hallucinating case laws.
