Report #65851

[agent\_craft] Generating custom legal contract clauses or interpreting jurisdiction-specific laws

Refuse to draft or interpret specific legal text; provide only publicly available legal information with a prominent 'Not Legal Advice' disclaimer and advise consulting a licensed attorney.

Journey Context:
LLMs blur the line between legal information \(facts about the law\) and legal advice \(applying law to specific facts\). The ABA defines the unauthorized practice of law \(UPL\) broadly; even minor contract tweaks tailored to a user's situation constitute legal advice. Providing specific interpretations creates liability and violates state bar rules.
