Compliance & Responsible Participation

Understand what the platform controls, what remains your responsibility, and where current primary sources must be checked before publication or outreach.

Currentness date: August 13, 2026. Current mapped rule-source connector includes New York. Smarter Justice remains national; unmapped jurisdictions require qualified human review. ABA Model Rules are national reference material only.

Platform controls

  • Membership never establishes licensure, verification, rank, referral status, endorsement, or availability.
  • Payment does not buy verification or ranking.
  • Marketing checks explain mapped issues and route uncertain questions to human review.
  • Profile currentness, corrections, privacy, security, accessibility, and evidence remain distinct controls.

Attorney responsibilities

  • Review communications for truthfulness and required responsible-lawyer information.
  • Confirm solicitation, specialist/certification, disclaimer, filing, and recordkeeping rules in the governing jurisdiction.
  • Protect confidentiality, supervise vendors, preserve professional independence, and exercise professional judgment.
  • Recheck current law before acting when a rule may have changed.
No compliance guarantee.

Smarter Justice provides platform information and controls, not legal advice. Enrollment, visibility, or a platform check does not guarantee compliance.
