Law Portal Zimbabwe

// THE_CHALLENGE

Zimbabwean legal practitioners, judges, and students lacked a central, reliable, and searchable database to access judgements, leading to manual archival searches and delayed case preparation.

// THE_OUTCOME

The portal consolidated over 5,000 judgements into a single web application, reducing case preparation time by over 80% with instant search speeds.

// WHAT_WE_BUILT

• Consolidated and parsed thousands of legacy PDF court rulings into structured text records
• Implemented a fast elastic search index allowing real-time searches across categories like Civil Procedure and Banking Law
• Developed simple, mobile-friendly tab views to switch between Civil Law and Criminal Law structures
• Optimized query caching to deliver sub-second search results even on standard mobile connections
