 Tech administrators can use this accelerator to give their colleagues easy access to internal unstructured company data. Admins can customize the system configurator to tailor responses for the intended audience.
 
+
 ### Industry scenario
+
 The sample data illustrates how this accelerator could be used in the financial services industry (FSI).
 
 In this scenario, a financial advisor is preparing for a meeting with a potential client who has expressed interest in Woodgrove Investments’ Emerging Markets Funds. The advisor prepares for the meeting by refreshing their understanding of the emerging markets fund's overall goals and the associated risks.
 
 Now that the financial advisor is more informed about Woodgrove’s Emerging Markets Funds, they're better equipped to respond to questions about this fund from their client.
 
+#### Legal Assistant scenario
+Additionally, we have implemented a Legal Assistant scenario to demonstrate how this accelerator can be utilized in the legal industry. The Legal Assistant helps legal professionals manage and interact with a large collection of legal documents efficiently. For more details, refer to the [Legal Assistant README](docs/legal_assistance.md).
+
 Note: Some of the sample data included with this accelerator was generated using AI and is for illustrative purposes only.

+# CWYD Legal Assistant
+
+## Overview
+The CWYD Legal Assistant is designed to help legal professionals efficiently manage and interact with a large collection of legal documents. It utilizes advanced natural language processing capabilities to provide accurate and contextually relevant responses to user queries about the documents.
+
+## Legal Assistant Infrastructure Configuration
+
+The following is the CWYD infrastructure configuration that we suggest to optimize the performance and functionality of the Legal Assistant:
+
+- **Azure Semantic Search**: Utilize Azure Semantic Search to efficiently index and search legal documents. This provides powerful search capabilities and integration with other Azure services.
+- **Azure Cognitive Search Top K 15**: Set the Top K parameter to 15 to retrieve the top 15 most relevant documents. This configuration helps in providing precise and relevant search results for user queries.
+- **Azure Search Integrated Vectorization**: Enable integrated vectorization in Azure Search to improve the semantic understanding and relevance of search results. This enhances the Legal Assistant's ability to provide contextually accurate answers.
+- **Azure OpenAI Model gpt-4o**: Leverage the Azure OpenAI model gpt-4o for advanced natural language processing capabilities. This model is well-suited for handling complex legal queries and providing detailed and contextually appropriate responses.
+- **Orchestration Strategy: Semantic Kernel**: Implement the Semantic Kernel orchestration strategy to effectively manage the integration and interaction between different components of the infrastructure. This strategy ensures seamless operation and optimal performance of the Legal Assistant.
+- **Conversation Flow Options**: Setting `CONVERSATION_FLOW` enables running advanced AI models like GPT-4o on your own enterprise data without needing to train or fine-tune models.
+
+By following these infrastructure configurations, you can enhance the efficiency, accuracy, and overall performance of the CWYD Legal Assistant, ensuring it meets the high demands and expectations of legal professionals.
+
+## Updating Configuration Fields
+
+To apply the suggested configurations in your deployment, update the following fields accordingly:
+- **Azure Semantic Search**: Set `AZURE_SEARCH_USE_SEMANTIC_SEARCH` to `true`
+- **Azure Cognitive Search Top K 15**: Set `AZURE_SEARCH_TOP_K` to `15`.
+- **Azure Search Integrated Vectorization**: Set `AZURE_SEARCH_USE_INTEGRATED_VECTORIZATION` to `true`.
+- **Azure OpenAI Model**: Set `AZURE_OPENAI_MODEL`  to `gpt-4o`.
+- **Azure OpenAI Model Name**: Set `AZURE_OPENAI_MODEL_NAME` to `gpt-4o`. (could be different based on the name of the Azure OpenAI model deployment)
+- **Azure OpenAI Model Name Version**: Set `AZURE_OPENAI_MODEL_VERSION` to `2024-05-13`.
+- **Conversation Flow Options**: Set `CONVERSATION_FLOW` to `byod`
+- **Orchestration Strategy**: Set `ORCHESTRATION_STRATEGY` to `Semantic Kernel`.
+
+
+## Admin Configuration
+In the admin panel, there is a dropdown to select the CWYD Legal Assistant. The options are:
+
+- **Default**: CWYD default prompt.
+
+![UnSelected](images/cwyd_admin_legal_unselected.png)
+
+- **Selected**: Legal Assistant prompt.
+
+![Checked](images/cwyd_admin_legal_selected.png)
+
+When the user selects "Legal Assistant," the user prompt textbox will update to the Legal Assistant prompt. When the user selects the default, the user prompt textbox will update to the default prompt. Note that if the user has a custom prompt in the user prompt textbox, selecting an option from the dropdown will overwrite the custom prompt with the default or legal assistant prompt. Ensure to **Save the Configuration** after making this change.
+
+## Legal Assistant Prompt
+The Legal Assistant prompt configuration ensures that the AI responds accurately based on the given context, handling a variety of tasks such as listing documents, filtering based on specific criteria, and summarizing document content. Below is the detailed prompt configuration:
+
+```plaintext
+## Summary Contracts
+Context:
+{sources}
+- You are a legal assistant.
+```
+You can see the [Legal Assistant Prompt](../code/backend/batch/utilities/helpers/config/default_legal_assistant_prompt.txt) file for more details.
+
+## Sample Legal Data
+We have added sample legal data in the [Legal Assistant sample Docs](../data/legal_data) folder. This data can be used to test and demonstrate the Legal Assistant's capabilities.
+
+## Conclusion
+This README provides an overview of the CWYD Legal Assistant prompt, instructions for updating the prompt configuration, and examples of questions and answers. Ensure you follow the guidelines for updating the prompt to maintain consistency and accuracy in responses.
