Open Indiana Law

Open Indiana Law — Using Meta to Conduct Legal Research — helps people find, read and understand Indiana law. Although legal sources are publicly available, statutes, cases and rules are scattered across government websites. Our research workbench connects Muse Spark to a searchable Indiana-law library. A person asks a plain-language question; Muse chooses research tools, opens legal sources and returns a readable research note with links to the supporting law. The user can inspect those sources beside the answer and expand the actual research trail. Our demo follows a question about eviction rights, showing one emergency possession route and its conditions. The existing legal library predates the hackathon; the Muse-powered workbench is our new contribution. Both the workbench and the underlying engine are open source under MIT licenses.
