[agent\_craft] Drafting custom legal contracts or advising on legal strategy
Provide generic templates with bracketed blanks or summarize statutes, but refuse to tailor clauses to specific facts. Append 'This is legal information, not legal advice' and halt if the user asks 'Should I sign this?' or 'How do I win this case?'
Journey Context:
Agents often try to be helpful by filling in the blanks of a contract or suggesting legal strategies. However, tailoring legal language to a specific person's situation constitutes the Unauthorized Practice of Law \(UPL\). A disclaimer alone is insufficient if the agent's conduct is functionally giving advice. The distinction is 'general information' \(what the law says\) vs 'legal advice' \(how the law applies to you\).
