Arrest Helper
Let us introduce you to our Arrest Helper, a dedicated companion for working on legal case analysis at Tilburg University and developed for and together with Tilburg Law School. The Arrest Helper works with students to read an arrest (a type of legal case) step by step, guiding them through the judgment without providing direct answers. This approach encourages students to learn how to read and understand judgments on their own.
How does it work?
The Arrest Helper follows a structured 10-step analysis process, covering everything from identifying the parties involved to deriving key legal principles. At every step, students retain full control over the level of support they receive. Some may only need confirmation that they’re on the right track, while others might require help locating specific information in the case document. Whatever the need, the Arrest Helper adapts to each student's preferred learning style.
Flexible Support Options
- Moving forward when the student is confident of fully understanding the material.
- Receving an explanation of a legal term.
- Receiving a tip, how to tackle the specific analytical step.
- Getting assistance in locating relevant information within a case document.
What Makes The Arrest Helper Unique
The Arrest Helper’s true value lies in its commitment to its unique use case. Rather than providing ready-made answers, it serves as a personal assistant that guides students through reading an arrest. At every stage of the process, the student remains in control of the chatbot, ensuring a personalized learning experience. This approach not only helps students analyze specific cases but also equips them with the skills needed to independently tackle any legal case analysis.
