Ask about Malawian law in plain words. LexChat retrieves reported Malawian cases and legislation, and returns answers with every proposition pinned to a citation you can open and verify.
Why it holds up
Answers you can check, not trust.
Malawi's common-law system produces steady jurisprudence, but the Malawi Law Reports have long struggled to keep up with it. Many decisions of the Supreme Court of Appeal and the High Court exist mainly as typescript judgments passed hand to hand or posted piecemeal online, which makes confirming the current state of authority slower than it should be.
LexChat searches Malawian sources first — Supreme Court of Appeal and High Court decisions together with the legislation in force — and reasons only over what it actually retrieved. Each answer arrives pinned to citations you can open, so a proposition about Malawian law is always one click away from the judgment or section that supports it.
The court system
Malawi's courts, ready to query.
High Court of Malawi.
A superior court of unlimited original jurisdiction, organised into divisions including commercial and constitutional work. It supplies most of Malawi's reported first-instance authority.
Subordinate courts.
Magistrates' courts across the country handle the high-volume caseload, with appeals flowing up to the High Court — the route by which many everyday disputes reach the reports.
