"Content is not intended to and does not constitute legal advice and no attorney-client relationship is formed, nor is anything submitted to this Web Site treated as confidential. The accuracy, completeness, adequacy or currency of the Content is not warranted or guaranteed. Your use of Content on this Web Site or materials linked from this Web Site is at your own risk.Excerpt from LexisNexis's Terms
1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision engages attorney professional conduct rules in all jurisdictions where licensed attorneys participate in Interactive Areas, including rules on unauthorized practice of law, attorney-client relationships, and client confidentiality. The explicit denial of confidentiality for submitted content may interact with HIPAA if health information is inadvertently shared, and with attorney-client privilege doctrines that could affect litigation. 2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low. This type of disclaimer is standard for legal information platforms and is consistent with common industry practice for legal publishers. However, the explicit statement that nothing submitted is treated as confidential is operationally significant for professional users who may inadvertently disclose privileged or sensitive information in Interactive Areas. 3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: Attorney ethics rules vary by state and jurisdiction. The document's attorney ethics notice in section 13 requires attorneys to abide by applicable Rules of Professional Conduct, which may impose obligations beyond what this disclaimer addresses. 4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Enterprise legal teams whose attorneys participate in LexisNexis Interactive Areas should assess whether any submissions could create discoverable communications given the explicit denial of confidentiality. 5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Organizations with attorneys participating in Interactive Areas should review whether internal policies address the confidentiality limitations disclosed in this provision and whether participation policies need to be updated to reflect that submissions are not treated as confidential.
