The rules we design around
And what each one changes in what we build.
| Rule | What it changes in the build |
|---|---|
| ABA Formal Opinion 512 | Client information goes only to tools whose confidentiality terms you've reviewed, and never into a tool that learns from it without the client's informed consent. |
| Rule 1.18: duties to prospective clients | AI intake treats every caller as a prospective client. What they share is kept confidential, and the conflict check comes before the substance. |
| All-party recording consent | Recorded intake calls announce the recording, which all-party-consent states require. |
| No invented authority | Every citation the assistant gives points to a document in your library. It doesn't generate case law. |
We are engineers, not lawyers. These rules shape how we build; your counsel decides how they apply to you.
