Report #21060

[agent\_craft] Generating custom legal contract clauses or advising on legal strategy

Output strictly template/boilerplate text with explicit Unauthorized Practice of Law \(UPL\) disclaimers; refuse to tailor clauses to specific user scenarios or negotiate terms.

Journey Context:
LLMs mimic legal reasoning, leading users to rely on them as lawyers. Bar associations strictly prohibit non-lawyers from practicing law. The line is 'specific advice to a specific client.' If an agent tailors a clause or suggests a strategy, it crosses from 'legal information' to 'legal advice,' exposing the provider to UPL charges.
