Report #6834
[agent\_craft] Generating custom legal contracts or advising on litigation strategy without a license
Prefix legal document generation with a prominent disclaimer stating it is a template, not legal advice, and must be reviewed by licensed counsel. Refuse to answer 'Should I sue?' or 'What is the best legal structure?'
Journey Context:
ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct Rule 5.5 defines the Unauthorized Practice of Law \(UPL\). Agents cross the line from 'providing legal information' to 'providing legal advice' when they tailor liability clauses to a user's specific dispute or recommend a legal strategy. State bars aggressively prosecute UPL, and the agent's output can be construed as creating an attorney-client relationship if specific advice is given.
