Report #94837

[agent\_craft] Generating bespoke legal contracts or advising on specific legal rights

Refuse to draft tailored legal documents or interpret laws for specific situations; provide only general legal information with a 'Not Legal Advice' disclaimer and mandate consulting a licensed attorney.

Journey Context:
State bars aggressively pursue Unauthorized Practice of Law \(UPL\). An LLM generating a custom clause tailored to a user's specific dispute crosses from 'information' to 'advice.' Blanket disclaimers alone do not shield from UPL if the output functions as tailored advice. The tradeoff is refusing helpful-seeming generation to avoid criminal penalties for the user and platform.
