The commitments behind the certificate.

Responsible AI Use

Every workflow taught at Lawnova Academy keeps a qualified person accountable for the result. AI accelerates legal work; it does not make legal judgments. This principle governs our curriculum, our labs, and the certificates we issue.

• AI outputs must be verified against grounded sources before use in any legal work product.
• No client-identifying or confidential matter data may be entered into training labs.
• Trial and verdict tools are taught as decision-support simulations, never as outcome predictions.
• Learners attest to understanding human-in-the-loop obligations before certification.

Academic Integrity

Certificates mean something only if the work behind them is genuine. Assessments are designed to evaluate applied judgment — the part AI cannot do for you.

• Capstone deliverables must reflect the learner's own analysis and verification.
• Use of AI tools within assignments is expected and disclosed — concealing process is the violation, not using tools.
• Misrepresentation of credentials or verification status is grounds for revocation.

Privacy & Data

We collect only what we need to deliver the program and issue verifiable credentials, and we are explicit about how labs handle data.

• Application and account data is used to deliver instruction and confirm credentials.
• Lab exercises run on supplied, non-confidential files inside gated sandboxes.
• Credential verification exposes only level, status, and issue date — never application details.
• We do not sell learner data.

Accessibility

The Academy is built to be usable by every learner. We design to WCAG 2.1 AA as a baseline and welcome accommodation requests.

• Live sessions offer captioning; recordings include transcripts.
• Materials are structured for screen readers and keyboard navigation.
• Accommodation requests can be made at any point — before or during a cohort.

Scope & Disclaimers

Lawnova Academy is a private, non-degree certificate academy for AI and legal practice. It does not grant law degrees, confer bar eligibility, or imply ABA approval. Certificates verify completion of a professional training program.

Nothing offered by the Academy constitutes legal advice or creates an attorney–client relationship. CLE eligibility, where pursued, is jurisdiction-specific and applies only to sessions explicitly marked as CLE-eligible.
