Acceptance of Terms
These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "you," or "your") and the operators of Legally Brief ("we," "us," or "our") governing your use of https://legallybrief.com and all sites under the legallybrief.com domain (collectively, the "Site") and any related services.
By accessing or using the Site in any way, including browsing any content or subscribing to SMS notifications, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms in their entirety, as well as our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Description of the Service
Legally Brief is an experimental editorial website that publishes AI-generated legal news, case summaries, statutory analysis, and legal commentary. The Site is rebuilt weekly, with each edition featuring a unique design generated from scratch by automated systems. The Site also offers an optional SMS notification service that sends alerts when new editions are published.
Legally Brief operates under multiple jurisdictional editions covering Federal law, Texas law, Michigan law, California law, and a central marketing site. These Terms apply to all editions and the central site. The Site is provided for informational and experimental purposes only. It is not a law firm, a licensed legal services provider, or any other regulated legal entity.
AI-Generated Content — Read Before Proceeding
Every piece of content on this Site — including but not limited to case summaries, statutory analysis, regulatory guidance, court opinions, legislative updates, legal commentary, and all other editorial content — is generated entirely by artificial intelligence without human editorial oversight, attorney review, fact-checking, or legal verification.
AI systems are known to produce "hallucinations": outputs that appear legally credible but are partially or entirely fabricated. Case citations, docket numbers, court holdings, statutory quotations, regulatory interpretations, attorney names, procedural facts, and any other legal information presented on this Site may be completely wrong, wildly inaccurate, dangerously misleading, or entirely invented.
AI-generated legal content poses particular risks because inaccurate legal information can directly harm individuals who act upon it. Do not make any legal decision, file any legal document, take any legal action, or advise any client based on content from this Site.
BY USING THIS SITE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND THE CONTENT IS AI-GENERATED AND MAY BE MATERIALLY INACCURATE, AND THAT YOU WILL NOT RELY ON IT FOR ANY LEGAL DECISION, LEGAL FILING, CLIENT ADVICE, OR ANY OTHER ACTION OF LEGAL CONSEQUENCE.No Attorney-Client Relationship. No Legal Advice.
Nothing on this Site constitutes legal advice, legal opinion, legal research, or any other form of professional legal service. No attorney-client relationship is formed by your use of this Site.
The content on this Site is provided for general informational and entertainment purposes only. It is not a substitute for professional legal counsel. You should always consult a qualified, licensed attorney in the relevant jurisdiction before taking any legal action, making any legal decision, or relying on any information for a legal purpose.
We expressly disclaim any duty of care to you with respect to legal decisions or actions. We are not responsible for any legal consequences, damages, losses, or other harm arising from any action you take or fail to take after reading content on this Site.
No Warranties Whatsoever
The disclaimers above apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you — however, we disclaim all warranties to the fullest extent permitted in your jurisdiction.
