Juggling a full-time job as a paralegal while preparing for law school is no easy task. For Augustine Arvohmensah, efficiency is everything. Each day, he navigates the complexities of legal research, assisting his lawyer Dad with case law, statutes, and legal principles while also dedicating hours to studying for entry into the Ghana School of Law. The challenge is not just about finding the right information but doing so quickly and accurately.
Since January, Eskwai has been his go-to research assistant, changing the way he works and studies. Gone are the days when legal research meant flipping through heavy books or jumping between multiple research tools. With Eskwai, everything is in one place, making it easier to access legal materials without unnecessary delays.
"Gone were the days where we thought Ghanaian law couldn’t be researched via the internet," Augustine said. "With Eskwai, I don’t need to carry around stacks of books—everything I need is in one place."
Augustine is one of the few users subscribed to both Pro and Standard plans, allowing him to maximize Eskwai’s full range of features. Whether he is assisting in legal discussions, preparing case summaries, or researching for law school, Eskwai has become an essential tool in his daily routine.
Legal research used to be a slow and tedious process. Augustine previously relied on multiple tools including ChatGPT, often needing extra steps to verify findings and piece together information. This often meant long hours of manual research, summarizing judgments, and searching for statutory references across different platforms.
One of the features that stood out to Augustine early on was Eskwai’s ability to generate AI-powered case summaries. Instead of spending time extracting key facts and legal principles himself, he found that Eskwai did the work for him, structuring the information in a way that was easy to understand. Whether he was researching institutional limits on actions under constitutionalism or double jeopardy in contempt, Eskwai provided concise, well-structured answers that saved him valuable time.
"Eskwai speeds up my productivity. Instead of manually breaking down cases, it gives me AI-generated facts, principles, and relevant case law instantly. It makes discussions with my father, who is a lawyer, much more productive. I can easily find the information he’s looking for and send it to him right away."
Beyond legal research, Eskwai has become an integral part of Augustine’s study process. While many law students rely on traditional study groups, Augustine has found that Ask Kwame, Eskwai’s AI-powered legal assistant, functions as a reliable study partner.
"To me, Ask Kwame is my study partner, my tutor, and my research assistant. It helps me clarify legal principles and supports my learning process better than any group discussion ever could."
With Ask Kwame, Augustine no longer has to rely solely on textbooks or external research tools to understand complex legal concepts. Instead, he engages with the AI assistant to break down statutes, analyze case law, and discuss legal principles in real time. Whether he is reviewing procedural limitations or exploring constitutional law, Ask Kwame helps him refine his understanding with precise and relevant legal insights.
As someone deeply invested in legal technology, Augustine recognizes the potential of tools like Eskwai to transform legal research in Ghana. From his perspective, the biggest advantage is time efficiency.
"In the legal space, time is money. The more time you save, the more work you can take on. Eskwai helps you maximize time and focus on what matters. It gives you access to fully updated case law, statutory provisions, and a powerful assistant who can find legal authorities in seconds."
For Augustine Eskwai is more than just a research tool—it’s an essential part of modern legal work.
