jrklaus8 makes Mike answer to the Law Society of Ontario
The Canada fork wraps the assistant in Ontario-specific lawyer duties and a wall of "use at your own risk" disclaimers.
jrklaus8 has added a compliance panel that spells out, in plain rule-by-rule terms, what an Ontario lawyer owes when leaning on an AI tool: the duty to independently verify its output, accountability for fabricated citations, the duty to supervise, and a transparency obligation. The framing is blunt - never treat the AI as an oracle, and you own anything it makes up. That language now also threads into the assistant's side panel so it's in front of the user, not buried in a settings tab.
The fork pairs this with prominent "open-source, provided as-is, not legal advice" disclaimers across the welcome screen, the chat view, and the project's front page. One promised feature - exporting an AI supervision log for your records - is wired into a button but doesn't actually do anything yet, so for now this is framing rather than function.
