Yamalé pairs a searchable African legal library with AI legal research on the same corpus. Browse statutes by jurisdiction and category, open full texts, then ask follow-up questions in AI Research with citations back to the instruments you are working on.
For law students, the workflow supports exam prep and coursework: find the act, read the articles, then test your understanding with cited Q&A. For firms and in-house teams, it reduces time spent hunting PDFs across jurisdictions.
The library is the source of truth. AI is a layer on top, useful for orientation and issue-spotting, not a substitute for reading primary sources or professional advice.

Frequently asked questions
- How many jurisdictions does the Yamalé legal library cover?
- The platform is built for broad African coverage across 55 African jurisdictions, with depth varying by jurisdiction and topic. Use library filters to see what is available for a given jurisdiction today.
- Can I use the library without AI?
- Yes. You can browse the library without using AI. The free plan includes a limited number of laws; a paid plan is needed to keep reading. AI research requires a plan that includes AI queries.
- Does AI search the whole internet?
- No. Yamalé AI legal research is designed to answer from library excerpts (plus optional limited web supplements for orientation), not the open web as binding law.
