Liblaw launched CJ Lewis, described as Liberia's first legal-learning artificial intelligence system, in Monrovia on July 31, 2026. The tool draws on Liberian Supreme Court opinions spanning from 1861 through 2026 to support legal research and case analysis.
The system is designed to help Liberian lawyers, judges and legal researchers search and interpret more than a century and a half of Supreme Court precedent, a body of case law that has historically been difficult to navigate systematically in Liberia's legal sector.
CJ Lewis represents one of the first sector-specific AI deployments in Liberia outside of government digital-transformation initiatives, applying AI directly to the country's legal infrastructure rather than general-purpose public administration.
Liblaw positioned the launch as a foundational step toward modernizing legal research in Liberia, with the tool intended to reduce the time lawyers and judges spend manually cross-referencing historical rulings.
