Unauthorized Practice of Law

Acronym: UPL

In plain English

When a non-lawyer gives legal advice or drafts fact-specific legal documents — illegal in every US state.

fornax is an educational tool and a document-assembly helper. It cannot tell you what to do based on your specific facts — that is the practice of law and must come from a licensed attorney. This boundary shapes how fornax is designed.
