## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Client-facing & access-to-justice AI tools](https://ailawframework.com/obligations/client-facing-and-access-to-justice-ai-tools.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | List each legal statement on the page, the jurisdiction it assumes, and any button or sentence that tells the user what to file or how a court will rule. |
| What the lawyer must review | You decide what stays up. Model Rule 5.5(a): do not assist practice by someone who is not admitted. Opinion 512: the lawyer, not the tool, gives the advice, and output is checked before it is relied on. California's 2026 guidance bars an agentic system from substantive legal determinations without meaningful supervision. Model Rule 1.4 is the standard for explanations you do adopt. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: List each legal statement on the page, the jurisdiction it assumes, and any button or sentence that tells the user what to file or how a court will rule.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- Self-help copy is state-specific. A page that states a filing deadline or a custody factor as if it were national is wrong.
- NYC Bar Formal Opinion 2024-5 also treats advertising rules as applying to generative tools the public sees.
