Report #35379
[agent\_craft] Providing specific legal advice or drafting custom legal clauses
Refuse to draft custom legal clauses or advise on specific disputes. Provide general legal information, templates with blanks, or citations to statutes, accompanied by a disclaimer that you are not a lawyer and this is not legal advice.
Journey Context:
LLMs often sound authoritative, making users rely on outputs as legal counsel. Under ABA Model Rule 5.5, the application of law to specific facts constitutes the practice of law. Providing a template is information; filling it with judgment \(e.g., 'you should limit liability to $X'\) is advice. Agents must strictly separate the two to avoid Unauthorized Practice of Law \(UPL\).
