Questions & answers
No. Not a Lawyer provides legal INFORMATION — explaining what Canadian laws say. It never provides legal advice, opinions, or recommendations. Always consult a licensed lawyer or paralegal before making legal decisions.
Every answer is grounded in actual Canadian legislation. We cite the exact section numbers so you can verify. Our AI uses temperature 0 (no creativity) and answers ONLY from retrieved law text — never from general knowledge.
We cover 112 statutes across 5 jurisdictions: 21 federal statutes (Criminal Code, Immigration, Divorce, EI, etc.) in English and French, plus provincial law for British Columbia (25 statutes), Ontario (30 statutes), Alberta (18 statutes), and Manitoba (18 statutes).
Absolutely. We never train on your data, never share with third parties, and never extract personal information from conversations. Free tier chats are deleted when you close the session.
Oui! Not a Lawyer is fully bilingual. Switch to French anytime and get answers citing legislation in your preferred language.
