| Practice area | [Commercial & Corporate Advisory (contracts, company law, governance)](https://ailawframework.com/practice/commercial-and-corporate-advisory.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | Mark clauses in a contract for the sale of goods that the lawyer asks to have read against the unconscionability rule, and quote them. Do not decide that any clause is unconscionable. |
| What the lawyer must review | Uniform Commercial Code § 2-302: if the court as a matter of law finds the contract, or any clause, to have been unconscionable at the time it was made, the court may refuse to enforce the contract, enforce the remainder without the unconscionable clause, or limit the clause to avoid an unconscionable result. When unconscionability is claimed or appears, the parties shall have a reasonable opportunity to present evidence of the commercial setting, purpose and effect. The text that governs is the enactment in the state whose law applies. You decide whether to raise the point. The section is about goods. It is not a general consumer-contract statute. Formal Opinion 512: the mark is not the decision. |
