Why this is illegal in Indiana
'AI lawyer' apps that write your motion, tell you what to file, or auto-generate court arguments are practicing law without a license. Consumers who paid can be made whole.
Indiana's UPL statute: Ind. Code § 33-43-2-1; Ind. Admission & Discipline R. 24
Indiana makes UPL a Class B misdemeanor, and the Indiana Supreme Court's Disciplinary Commission can seek injunctions and civil penalties against non-lawyers who provide legal services.
Penalties in Indiana
Class B misdemeanor (up to 180 days and $1,000) for a first offense; Class A misdemeanor for subsequent violations.
