I think it has been well established that disclaimers on legal advice and commentary are less important than 10 years ago. A reasonable person must be under the assumption that the author is acting as their lawyer. Adding the extra "This is not legal advice" is moreso just a extra nail in the coffin of protection.
Its the same reason webmd does not have a big disclaimer at the top of the page saying they are not acting as your doctor.
- tomkinstinch 14y agoAre there specific legal precedents that have made such disclaimers less important, or has it been a general trend?
- rprasad 14y agoYes, generally see the NOLO line of cases.
