        abstract = {LawBridge is an innovative digital platform developed to bridge the communication and accessibility gap between citizens, legal professionals, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and government authorities. The system aims to promote legal awareness and simplify access to justice by providing an integrated online environment where users can seek guidance, register complaints, connect with verified lawyers, and access government schemes related to legal and social welfare. The platform addresses a major challenge faced by many individuals: limited understanding of legal procedures and difficulty in obtaining timely legal assistance. By integrating technology into the legal framework, LawBridge provides a structured, transparent, and user-friendly solution that encourages citizens to engage with the justice system without fear or confusion. The system is developed using JavaFX for the front-end design and MySQL for the backend database, ensuring efficiency, scalability, and secure data storage. Each user type—citizen, lawyer, NGO, and government official—has a dedicated dashboard with customized features and functionalities. The modern UI design, enhanced with responsive layouts and clear navigation, ensures ease of use and accessibility for all users. LawBridge not only facilitates smooth communication among legal stakeholders but also sup- ports awareness campaigns and scheme dissemination through its NGO and government modules. By promoting transparency, reducing delays, and improving access to information, the system contributes significantly toward the vision of Digital India and Legal Empowerment for All. This project demonstrates how technology can be effectively leveraged to transform the legal ecosystem into a more accessible, efficient, and citizen-centric model.},
