Legal & disclaimers
What we are, and what we are not.
This page is not decoration and it is not boilerplate we hope you skip. It describes the actual limits of what you are buying.
Draft — pending review by counsel
Inference Legal is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. We employ no attorneys. No attorney–client relationship is created by using this site, our software, or by contacting us. Our products are not a substitute for the advice of an attorney.
You are representing yourself. We do not review your answers for legal sufficiency, draw legal conclusions, or apply the law to the facts of your particular situation. Communications with us are not protected by the attorney–client privilege. If you need advice about your specific problem, consult a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction.
1. Inference Legal is not a law firm
Inference Legal sells self-help software and general legal information. It does not practice law, and it does not employ or retain attorneys to practice law on your behalf. Nothing on this site, and nothing our software produces, is legal advice.
No attorney–client relationship is formed by visiting this site, by submitting the contact form, by corresponding with us, or by using our software. Because no such relationship exists, no privilege attaches to anything you tell us. Do not send us information you would not be prepared to see disclosed.
2. Our products are not a substitute for the advice of an attorney
This statement is made deliberately, prominently, and on every page of this site. It is not a formality. Software cannot weigh your circumstances, cannot exercise judgment about your case, and cannot be accountable to you the way a licensed professional can. If you can obtain counsel, you should.
3. You choose. You direct. You sign.
Our software completes documents at your direction, using the form and the claim you select and the facts you supply. It does not select your claim, your form, your forum, or your strategy, and it does not recommend among them. Those are legal decisions and they are yours to make.
Every document must be reviewed, verified, corrected, and signed by you. Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(a), a party who is not represented by an attorney must sign personally; by signing, you certify to the court the things Rule 11(b) requires you to certify. That certification is yours alone. We do not make it, we cannot make it for you, and we do not stand behind it.
4. No warranty of validity, sufficiency, or outcome
We do not warrant that any document is valid, legally sufficient, correctly completed for your court, or that any court will accept it. We do not warrant any outcome in any matter. We make no claim about how our software compares to the work of a lawyer, and any such comparison you may draw is your own.
Courts apply a plausibility standard to complaints — a complaint must state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face. Whether yours does is a legal judgment about your facts. We do not make that judgment.
5. Artificial intelligence, and the duty that comes with it
Our research engine uses artificial intelligence. You should understand three things about that.
Generative systems fabricate citations. They produce case names, quotations, and reporter citations that do not exist, in fluent and correctly formatted prose. Courts have sanctioned filers for submitting them.
You must verify every citation independently before filing. Our engine links each authority to the public record and re-checks citations against that record before a document is finalized. This catches citations that do not exist. It does not establish that a real authority governs your case, remains good law, or helps you. Only reading it can do that.
Check your judge's standing order on AI disclosure. Some judges require filers to disclose the use of generative artificial intelligence. These orders are made judge by judge and change frequently. Finding and complying with the requirements in your court is your responsibility.
6. Jurisdiction, and the limits of what a non-lawyer may sell
What a person or company that is not a lawyer may lawfully do for a self-represented litigant is defined by state law, and it differs materially from state to state. The American Bar Association supplies no national definition; each state sets its own.
We build to the narrow end of that range on purpose: we sell software and general legal information, the user selects the form and the claim, the software completes documents at the user's direction, and we state clearly and conspicuously that our products are not a substitute for the advice of an attorney. Where a state's law requires more of us than that, we will comply with it or we will not offer the product there.
If you believe we have crossed a line in your state, tell us. We would rather hear it from you than not hear it.
7. We are not legal aid, and we are not a referral service
We do not provide free legal services, we do not represent people, and we do not match you with a lawyer. If you need a lawyer and cannot afford one, the Legal Services Corporation funds legal aid organizations nationwide, most courts operate self-help centers, and state and local bar associations run lawyer referral services. Those are better first calls than we are.
8. What we do with what you tell us
The contact form on this site stores your name, email address, subject, message, the page you submitted from, your IP address, and your browser's user-agent string, and sends a copy to us by email so we can reply. We keep it to answer you. We do not sell it.
Again, and it bears repeating: these communications are not privileged. A contact form is not a confidential channel.
9. Changes
We will revise this page as the product and the law develop. Material changes will be dated here.
