Always double-check any legal info an AI tool gives you!

3 Questions to Avoid Bad Legal Information

  1. Is the legal info meant for your location? Make sure it's for your city, county, or state. Or else it could be wrong for you.
  2. Is the info up-to-date? Laws and paperwork change all the time. Check when the info was last updated, to make sure it still applies.
  3. Is the info from a trustworthy expert? Or is it from someone with limited legal experience? Or could it be a scam?
