Leeway

Leeway is a legal assistance tool that helps users find potential legal solutions based on a plain-text description of their issues and their geographical location. Users are prompted to describe legal problems in their own words, which Leeway uses to match them with appropriate legal advisers nearby. The platform is intended to serve as a guide through the complex path of seeking legal justice by identifying available resources, but it does not provide legal advice directly.

By facilitating connection to legal experts, Leeway aims to reduce the intimidation often associated with obtaining legal help by simplifying the initial steps. Offering this bridge to justice supports those who might not otherwise have access to traditional legal resources, making legal pathways more accessible for Australians.

Leeway operates as a proof of concept in providing immediate, process-oriented guidance, helping users take the first steps in addressing their legal problems.
