The Problem
Romanian legal professionals lacked a centralized digital platform for annotated criminal codes. Resources were fragmented across printed volumes, academic papers, and disconnected databases — with no unified tool combining codes with case law, jurisprudence, and doctrine.
Our Solution
A comprehensive legal knowledge platform with hierarchical code navigation, three-tier annotations (binding case law, jurisprudence, doctrine), credit-based access, full-text search with Romanian diacritics handling, and an academic verification pipeline.
Where law meets technology.
Hierarchical Navigation
Browse from Act → Part → Title → Chapter → Section → Article with self-referencing category trees and caching.
Three-Tier Annotations
Binding case law, national/European jurisprudence, and legal doctrine — each with separate access controls and pricing.
Credit Monetization
Dynamic pricing tiers where price-per-credit decreases with volume. Stripe integration for purchases and SmartBill for invoicing.
Full-Text Search
Whoosh + Fuse.js search with custom Romanian diacritics normalization pipeline and keyword extraction via YAKE.
Academic Access
Verification pipeline for students and professors with institutional validation and special access tiers.
Admin & Analytics
Complete CRUD, user management, audit trails (IP, timestamp, user), analytics dashboards, and configuration management.
