About

Legal research for Uganda, built to show its working.

Wakilii is an AI legal research agent for Ugandan law. It answers questions in plain language and grounds every statement in a primary source you can open and check — never an answer without its authority.

Our mission

Good legal work rests on good sources. Yet in Uganda the law is scattered across registries, gazettes, and judgments that are difficult to search and harder still to cite with confidence. Important authorities sit in PDFs and physical volumes; consolidations lag behind amendments; and the link between a proposition and the text that supports it is often lost.

Wakilii exists to close that gap. We bring the precedent, the statute, and the source into one place, and we make the reasoning auditable — so that every answer can be traced back to the words of the law.

What Wakilii does

Wakilii works the way a careful junior associate would: it plans the research, reads the relevant authorities, drafts an answer, and checks each citation before showing it to you.

• Plans the research path. It breaks a question into the issues that actually decide it, then works through them in order.
• Drafts a cited answer. Each proposition is written in plain language and footnoted to the authority it rests on.
• Verifies before it shows you. Citations are checked against the underlying source, so the link you click resolves to the text being relied on.

What's inside

Wakilii draws on a structured corpus of Ugandan and regional legal materials, kept current as new judgments and instruments are published.

• Case law from the Supreme Court, Court of Appeal / Constitutional Court, and the High Court of Uganda.
• Legislation — Acts of Parliament and statutory instruments, with the provisions a question turns on surfaced directly.
• Regional law from the East African Community, including East African Court of Justice jurisprudence where relevant.
• Parliamentary record — Hansard, for legislative history and the intent behind a provision.

The principles behind it

Cited by default

Nothing is asserted without a source. If Wakilii cannot find authority for a point, it tells you so rather than guessing.

Show the working

The research trace is visible. You can see which issues were identified and which authorities were consulted, so the answer is something you can interrogate — not a black box.

Verify before you rely

Wakilii is a research tool, not a substitute for professional judgment. Every citation links back to its source precisely so that you can confirm it before it goes into a brief, an opinion, or a filing.

Built with privacy in mind

Your questions are yours. We handle account and query data carefully and describe exactly how in our Privacy Policy.

Who it's for

Wakilii is built for the people who work with Ugandan law every day — litigators preparing submissions, in-house counsel advising the business, and researchers, academics, and students who need to find and read primary authority quickly and cite it accurately.

Access

Wakilii is currently invite-only while we work closely with early users. You can request access, or sign in if you already have an account.

Wakilii provides legal research assistance, not legal advice, and does not create a lawyer–client relationship. AI-generated output can contain errors; always read and verify the cited authorities before relying on them. Your use of Wakilii is governed by our Terms of Use.
