Lawyers, technology experts, and academics in Nigeria will meet next week in Abuja to discuss the impact of digital tools and artificial intelligence on access to justice.
According to Agbo Obinnaya, co-founder of Case Radar AI, about 500 participants are expected. He said the event would be one of the first national efforts to “democratise legal knowledge and streamline legal processes.”
The event, scheduled for 10 May, will take place at the Institute for Peace and Conflict Resolution, Central Business District, Abuja. Organised by Case Radar AI, the gathering aims to explore how innovation can make legal services more accessible to ordinary citizens.
“Because access to justice in Nigeria is still a luxury for many. The system is slow, expensive, and often confusing. Tech like Case Radar breaks down those walls — giving everyday people instant access to legal answers, documents, and support. It’s a law made simple, not scary,” Obinnaya said.
He added that the event would also focus on building the image of young professionals through what he described as “The Headshot Event.”
“The Headshot Event is our way of investing in the image of young professionals. We’re offering free professional photos for their social media to help them show up with confidence — online and offline. It’s more than a picture; it’s about presence, credibility, and community.”
Participants will receive certificates in legal technology, artificial intelligence, career development, job interview training, and CV review. A free book on LinkedIn optimisation will also be distributed.
Obinnaya said Case Radar was built with five core tools designed for ease of use, offering features such as legal advice and document generation.
“He that anyone can use from their phone or laptop. No legal background needed. We’re making the law accessible, affordable, and available 24/7. That’s how we intend to contribute our quota to bridge the gap between the law and the people in our country.”
Legal experts believe that artificial intelligence and related tools will reshape Nigeria’s legal system, which still operates largely through traditional, manual methods.
