Abstract

The ever-increasing volume and complexity of legal information require intelligent systems capable of processing legal queries with high accuracy. Traditional search methods often fail to identify the correct legal norms or provide context-based interpretations. This paper explores how modern artificial intelligence techniques, in particular, Augmented Generation through Search (AGS), can improve legal information retrieval and automated legal reasoning. By combining vector-based search of authoritative laws with generative models, AGS reduces hallucinations and ensures that answers remain based on proven legal sources. The study describes the system workflow, the challenges of data preparation, and the importance of maintaining a modern legal corpus. The results show that AGS-based approaches significantly improve the reliability, comprehensibility, and relevance of AI-generated legal answers, which is a significant breakthrough in the field of digital legal assistance.
