Robot lawyer practicing law without degree
The plaintiff, Jonathan Faridian, accused the robot of violating California's unfair competition law by providing substandard and unauthorized legal services.
According to the complaint, the robot neither has a law degree nor a law firm.
It does not have a law degree, is not admitted to any bar, and is not supervised by any lawyer.
The lawsuit alleged that the robot lawyer has offered to draft defamation demand letters and sue anyone in small claims court, among other things.
The plaintiff claimed that these services are misleading and potentially harmful to consumers who may rely on them without proper legal advice.
The lawsuit seeks damages and an injunction to stop the robot from engaging in the unauthorized practice of law.
It also asks the court to declare that the robot is not a lawyer and to order it to remove any such references from its website and marketing materials.
