Staying Connected with your Legal Community

Legal, Technology /

Whether you are a legal enthusiast or just someone going through a few legal problems, the importance of having a community to share your burdens with and learn new things from is a great feeling.

Legist will provide you with the opportunity to do that. Along with providing answers to your questions and connecting you with legal advocates, our app also allows us to connect with others just like yourself who are curious about the law. By making use of our app, you can become part of a community dedicated to legal education in all aspects of the law.

This feature of ours provides not just knowledge, but also emotional support. We understand that many people who ask legal questions are not just curious and in search of concrete answers to their questions, but also looking for people to encourage them during their troubling times.

The legal community of Legist will provide that support so that even if we are all miles apart, we can confidently say we are united in the cause of alleviating even just a bit, the stress born from a lack of legal know-how.

Indexing the Law

Legal /

The law is a very broad subject, there are many aspects to it. This is only natural because the law needs to be applicable for all situations and at all times. Due to this, some of it is easily recognizable, but some others are less familiar while some exist yet many people have no idea what it is or are unclear about its meaning .

In order to provide the best service to our users, Legist has chosen to solve this problem by creating multiple categories to let people ask questions or search for answers to easily find the legal help that they seek.

The importance of categories cannot be overlooked because categories create an index of the app rather than forcing people to search the entire app for an answer about a certain topic. It also grants the app an orderly appearance that leads to efficient use of our customers’ time. 

We are aware that people have many priorities and believe that when insearch of legal help, the quicker an answer is received the better it is for the customer. Categories are also important because they allow legal advocates to instantly find questions which they can easily answer, this lets them provide accurate answers because they are speaking on subjects they are familiar with.

Currently, there are six basic categories which include Health, Disability, Family and Housing. We chose this as our starting point because many legal questions are centered around these categories as they apply personally to a large number of people. Legist seeks to make sure that all of our customers’ have a chance to find a post which will help them in their search for legal help.

 In the future, if our customers require it, we are open to expanding the category listing so that we can better satisfy our customers.

On our application, lawyers always initiate the first conversation. This is dependent on the nature of your question and what role the lawyer feels they can play in your situation.
