®Disclaimer & legal info
Please read this carefully before using Open Counsel. This page explains what we are, what we are not, and the limits of the information we provide.
Not legal advice
Open Counsel is an educational platform. Everything on this site — including AI-generated responses, topic summaries, document guides, and any other content — is provided for general informational and educational purposes only.
Nothing on this site constitutes legal advice, creates an attorney-client relationship, or should be relied upon as a substitute for consultation with a qualified, licensed attorney in your jurisdiction.
Laws vary significantly by state, country, and circumstance. Information that is accurate in one jurisdiction may be incorrect or inapplicable in another. Always consult a licensed attorney before making any legal decision.
AI-generated content limitations
Open Counsel uses artificial intelligence to generate responses to user questions. AI systems can make mistakes, produce outdated information, misunderstand context, or generate plausible-sounding but incorrect statements.
AI-generated responses are not reviewed by attorneys before delivery. They should be treated as a starting point for your own research — not as authoritative legal guidance.
Do not share sensitive personal information, case details, or confidential data with the AI assistant. This platform is not a secure legal communication channel and does not carry attorney-client privilege.
No attorney-client relationship
Using Open Counsel does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and Open Counsel, its operators, or any attorney. No such relationship is formed by using this site, submitting questions to the AI, or reading any content here.
If you need legal representation or advice specific to your situation, please contact a licensed attorney in your area.
Preparing for an attorney
Attorney preparation lets you organize a summary and select supporting documents. Matching, attorney acceptance, and delivery are not connected in this version. Nothing is sent when you prepare a packet.
