ABA Model Rule 1.6 (confidentiality)
American Bar Association model rule requiring lawyers к keep client information confidential. SLAtech Legal's confidentiality posture (PII redaction at ingest, attorney-client privilege metadata tag, single-tenant option) maps directly к Rule 1.6 compliance.
Attorney-client privilege
Common-law doctrine, защищающая confidential communications между клиентом и lawyer (или их agent) от compelled disclosure. SLAtech Legal бот positioned как extension firm'ы; confidentiality wording в intake conversation устанавливает privilege framing.
Bar association
Professional regulatory body для lawyers (Israel Bar, ABA в США, Law Society в UK). SLAtech Legal бот ссылается на firm's bar registration в client-facing communications.
Billable hour
Standard 6-minute increment в legal time tracking. SLAtech Legal intake бот сокращает non-billable administrative overhead — каждая минута, сэкономленная на intake / scheduling, translates в billable hour gained.
Citation discipline
Refuses к cite case-law или statute numbers без source-anchor verification. Prevents hallucinated citations (2023 ChatGPT-Mata sanctions story). SLAtech Legal mandates source-anchor на every citation; uncertain citations surface "refer к attorney" route.
Conflict check
Mandatory pre-engagement review, screening новое representation на conflicts с existing или former clients. SLAtech Legal бот ведёт structured conflict-check intake (opposing parties, related entities) до любого case-specific discussion.
Conflict-of-interest check
Pre-intake search of prospective client / opposing party name против existing-client database фирмы. SLAtech Legal runs conflict-check при intake start; flagged matches route к partner approval before continuing. Generic chatbots ship ноль conflict-check (firm liability).
Contingency fee
Attorney compensation, contingent on case outcome (% of recovery). Common в personal injury, employment, consumer protection. SLAtech Legal бот может surface contingency fee structures и объяснять их tradeoffs vs hourly billing.
Continuing Legal Education (CLE)
Mandatory ongoing professional education для practicing attorneys. SLAtech Legal бот может surface firm's CLE-tracked credentials prospective clients как quality signal.
Court rules / civil procedure
Jurisdiction-specific procedural rules, governing litigation conduct. SLAtech Legal бот не interprets court rules но может schedule attorney consultations и pull procedural deadlines из matter management system.
Discovery
Pre-trial phase, exchanging information и evidence между parties. Включает interrogatories, depositions, document requests. SLAtech Legal бот может schedule discovery-related client meetings и surface case-specific document checklists.
E-discovery
Discovery of electronically-stored information (emails, documents, social media). SLAtech Legal бот routes complex e-discovery inquiries к firm's litigation support team вместо auto-processing.
Engagement letter
Контракт, formally establishing lawyer-client relationship — scope, fees, expectations. SLAtech Legal бот может surface dynamic engagement-letter template на основе matter type.
Engagement letter (retainer agreement)
Written contract establishing the attorney-client relationship, scope, fee structure, billing cadence. SLAtech Legal generates draft engagement letters из intake data; final review и signature handled by attorney.
Hourly rate
Attorney's billed rate per hour. SLAtech Legal бот surfaces hourly rates по attorney и practice area по запросу, configured per firm.
Intake
Structured information capture от prospective клиента: matter type, jurisdiction, opposing parties, timeline, budget. SLAtech Legal бот ведёт multilingual intake conversation (иврит / русский / английский / арабский) и delivers structured intake summary firm'е.
Matter / case
Discrete piece of legal work для клиента (litigation, transaction, advisory). SLAtech Legal интегрируется с major practice management системами (Clio, MyCase, PracticePanther, Smokeball) для чтения и записи matter records.
Privilege log
Itemised list документов, withheld from production on privilege grounds. SLAtech Legal не генерирует privilege logs напрямую но routes related requests к litigation team.
Pro bono
Legal work, provided без charge для clients, unable afford counsel. SLAtech Legal intake бот может identify pro bono eligibility и маршрутизировать к dedicated pro bono queue.
Retainer
Initial payment, securing legal representation. SLAtech Legal бот может котировать retainer ranges на основе matter type и handle retainer collection через firm's payment processor (Paddle, RewirePay, Stripe alternatives).
Statute of limitations (срок исковой давности)
Legal deadline, beyond которого claim barred от filing. Варьируется по claim type и jurisdiction. SLAtech Legal бот flags potential statute-of-limitations issues во время intake и триггерит urgent attorney review.
Statute of limitations clock
Jurisdiction-specific deadline by which cause of action must be filed. SLAtech Legal flags potential SoL exposure при intake based на captured facts (cause of action + accrual date), routing к litigation partner для confirmation.
Time entry
Recording billable time, spent на matter. SLAtech Legal бот сокращает front-desk friction через handling client questions asynchronously — freeing attorney time для billable work.
Trust account
Segregated bank account, holding client funds (settlements, retainers not yet earned). Strict regulatory compliance required. SLAtech Legal не handles trust-account operations напрямую — flags trust-related queries к firm's bookkeeper или managing partner.
UPL (Unauthorized Practice of Law)
Common-law и statutory ограничение, лимитирующее практику права licensed attorneys. Определено variably по jurisdictions, но обычно включает legal advice, drafting legal documents и representing parties в proceedings. SLAtech Legal бот routes каждый substantive legal вопрос к "attorney will follow up" — предотвращая inadvertent UPL exposure для firm'ы.
