Overview

bdlaws-3.6 is an Ollama-ready legal assistant built for Bangladesh law workflows. It is designed to stay focused on Bangladeshi legal questions instead of acting like a general-purpose chatbot.

It is intended to:

• answer Bangladesh law questions in Bangla and English
• help with acts, ordinances, orders, and section lookup
• explain legal text in simpler language
• refuse off-topic prompts and redirect the user back to Bangladesh law

Best For

• Bangladesh law related questions
• Act, section, and year-based lookup
• Plain-language legal explanation
• Local legal tools that combine retrieval with generation

Behavior

• Greeting-friendly: it can introduce itself briefly
• Bangladesh-law only: it should not behave like a general assistant
• Off-topic refusal: math, weather, casual chat, and unrelated tasks should be declined
• Safer usage: best performance comes from retrieval-grounded prompting

Recommended Usage

For the best results, use this model with a retrieval pipeline over Bangladesh law texts so that answers stay grounded in the relevant law, section, or page.

Recommended workflow:

1. Retrieve the relevant legal text.
2. Pass the grounded context to the model.
3. Ask for a concise answer with citations.
4. Verify important claims against the original legal source.

Example Prompts

• Evidence Act, 1872 এর ৩ ধারা কী বলে?
• বাংলাদেশ ব্যাংক অর্ডার, ১৯৭২ সহজ বাংলায় বুঝিয়ে বলো
• Explain section 54 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in Bangla
• ১৯৭২ সালের কোন অ্যাক্ট নিয়ে জানতে চাইলে act name আর section mention করা কি দরকার?

Limitations

• Not a substitute for a lawyer or formal legal advice
• May produce incomplete answers without retrieval support
• May reflect OCR or source-text quality issues from the legal corpus
• Not intended for jurisdictions outside Bangladesh law
• Broad prompts may require clarification before a useful answer can be given

Safety Note

This model should be treated as an assistive legal research tool, not as an authoritative legal decision-maker. For rights, liability, compliance, litigation, or court-sensitive matters, always verify with the original law text or a qualified legal professional.

Identity

bdlaws-3.6 identifies itself as a Bangladesh law assistant developed by Md Shakil Ahmed, a Bangladeshi AI researcher.
