Amica is an Australian government-supported online platform that helps separating couples reach agreements on parenting and property matters without going to court. It uses AI to provide tailored suggestions based on factors like relationship duration, financial contributions, and future needs. The platform guides users through negotiation, allowing them to create legally enforceable agreements in a confidential and cost-effective way. Amica is best suited for couples with relatively amicable separations who want a structured yet flexible approach to resolving family law issues.
Access to Justice and Legal Aid

Virtual Legal Assistants: AI-powered chatbots and virtual assistants provide legal information and guidance to the public, improving access to legal services and aiding self-represented litigants. Document Automation for Legal Aid: These tools help generate legal documents for individuals who cannot afford legal representation, ensuring broader access to justice.

Decision Support Systems

Judgment Drafting Assistance: These tools help judges draft judgments by suggesting relevant legal provisions, precedents, and potential outcomes based on the specifics of the case, including to help judges reduce potential extremes in their rulings by analysing and presenting previous sentencing decisions for similar cases.

It uses predictive modeling based on legal principles to estimate likely agreement outcomes, helping users make informed decisions. These AI-driven insights act as a starting point for negotiations, streamlining the resolution process.
