Hey John, thanks for your comments. Really appreciate you taking a look and I hear your points. Your question is probably rhetorical, but we're certainly not trying to give legal advice here (and we've been careful to build this in a way that it's clearly an admin tool and not a replacement for legal advice). As far as the "jump right in goes" - just trying to fit in to the spirit of a Show HN and have people play around with something we've built.
- yid 11y ago> we've been careful to build this in a way that it's clearly an admin tool and not a replacement for legal advice While the parent comment was a bit harsh, literally the first point on your landing page is "A modern legal assistant", which really does sound like you're managing parts of the legal process that a lawyer normally would.
- jwb119 11y agoHmm, we were actually going for the same point you're making by using that analogy. The thinking is that lawyers handle legal advice (and practice law), while legal assistants handle legal administrative work (and don't give legal advice or practice law). Maybe there's a better way to say that though. I'll think about it, thanks for bringing that up!
- a3camero 11y ago"Legal advice" vs. "legal information" vs. "project management"/"clerical work"/"administrative work". Legal assistants are often carrying out the instructions of lawyers. I've never seen one that operated independent of a lawyer.
