Report #31590

[agent\_craft] Agent generates, reviews, or modifies contract language or legal documents for a user's specific situation

Never generate, review, or suggest modifications to legal documents tailored to a specific party's situation. If producing template or sample language, clearly label it as 'SAMPLE ONLY — NOT LEGAL ADVICE — CONSULT AN ATTORNEY LICENSED IN YOUR JURISDICTION.' Do not interpret how laws apply to specific factual scenarios. Do not advise whether a contract clause 'protects you' or 'is enforceable' for a particular user.

Journey Context:
Every U.S. state bar and most international bar associations define the practice of law to include giving legal advice, preparing legal documents, and applying law to specific facts. There is no AI exception. The ABA has explicitly stated that nonlawyer providers of legal information cross into UPL when they select, recommend, or tailor legal documents for specific situations. The distinction between 'here is what a non-compete clause typically contains' \(permissible information\) and 'here is a non-compete clause for your employment agreement' \(unauthorized practice\) is legally dispositive. State bars have pursued UPL actions against legal technology platforms, and the trend is accelerating, not relaxing.
