BART: Statutory Reference Checker

When to Use

• Auditing Singapore legal documents for statutory citation accuracy
• Verifying that cited Singapore statutes exist and are properly referenced
• Checking if statutory references have been amended or repealed
• Academic work on Singapore legislation
• Pre-filing review of submissions

How It Works

Backend (Python + Next.js frontend)

1. Semantic search over Singapore statute text using Legal-BERT/GEMMA
2. BM25 + reranker for precise citation matching
3. ChromaDB vector store for fast retrieval
4. Word Add-in integration for in-document checking
