Academic Integrity Policy

INTRODUCTION
JurisNote LLC ("JurisNote," "we," "us," "our") provides the JurisNote website, application, and related services (the "Service"), a legal-education study platform for law students. This Academic Integrity Policy explains how you are expected to use the Service in a way that is consistent with the academic honesty obligations you already owe to your law school, your professors, and — eventually — the bar examiners and character-and-fitness committees who will evaluate your fitness to practice law.

This Policy is incorporated by reference into the JurisNote Terms of Service at /terms and applies to every user of the Service. Capitalized terms not defined here have the meaning given to them in the Terms of Service. Related policies: AI Usage & Disclosure Policy at /ai-usage, Public Sharing Rules at /legal/public-sharing-rules, and User-Generated Content Policy at /legal/user-generated-content.

We take this subject seriously because you should. Study material created by law students frequently derives from casebooks, commercial study aids, bar-preparation material, and professor lecture notes. How you use and share that material is governed first and foremost by rules we did not write and cannot change.

YOUR INSTITUTION'S HONOR CODE ALWAYS GOVERNS
2.1 Precedence
Your law school's honor code, academic-integrity policy, examination rules, course syllabi, and the specific instructions of your professors ALWAYS govern your conduct and ALWAYS take precedence over anything in this Policy, anything the Service permits you to do technically, and anything a JurisNote feature description, tooltip, or support response may say. If this Policy and your institution's rules conflict, follow your institution's rules.

2.2 We do not interpret or waive your honor code
JurisNote cannot and does not:
• interpret your school's honor code or any professor's instructions;
• tell you whether a particular use is permitted in your course;
• grant, approve, or imply an exception, waiver, or safe harbor under your school's rules;
• act as an authority you may cite in an academic-integrity proceeding.

The fact that the Service makes an action technically possible is NOT permission to take that action. If you are unsure whether a use is allowed, ask your professor, your dean of students, or your school's academic-integrity office BEFORE you act. When in doubt, do not upload, do not share, and do not use.

2.3 Not legal advice
This Policy is not legal advice and is not a substitute for your honor code. JurisNote is not a law firm, does not provide legal advice or legal representation, and no attorney-client relationship arises from your use of the Service. Nothing here should be read as a prediction of how your school, a bar examiner, or a character-and-fitness committee will treat any conduct.

PERMITTED STUDY USES
Subject at all times to Section 2, the Service is built for and intended to support ordinary, honest study, including:
• creating your own case briefs, outlines, black-letter rule sets, flashcards, and decks from your own reading, notes, and understanding;
• organizing your own lecture recordings, course documents, and study schedules where your professor and school permit recording and retention;
• studying, copying, or forking material another user has published to the public Library, where that author has allowed copying or forking and you honor any attribution or license terms the author set;
• working through practice hypotheticals, practice questions, and self-testing exercises;
• using AI features to draft, summarize, extract rules, generate practice questions, or give practice feedback as a study aid, where your institution and your professor permit AI use;
• collaborating on shared outlines or study-group material where collaboration is permitted by your course.

PROHIBITED USES
You may not use the Service to do any of the following. This list is illustrative, not exhaustive.

4.1 Passing off work that is not yours
• Submitting AI-generated output — whether generated on JurisNote or elsewhere — as your own original work for a graded assignment, seminar paper, journal note, moot court brief, or any other academic submission.
• Submitting another person's work, in whole or in part, as your own, including material you copied or forked from the Library.
• Using the Service to obtain, assemble, or launder work product for someone else to submit as their own.

4.2 Assessment material
• Uploading, publishing, sharing, or distributing a graded examination, a closed-universe memorandum assignment, a take-home examination, a practice-court problem, or any other assessment while it is active — that is, before the submission deadline has passed for all students, or while the professor or school still restricts its circulation.
• Uploading or sharing an examination or assignment that your professor or school has designated as confidential, non-shareable, non-circulating, or subject to a return or destruction requirement — regardless of how long ago it was administered.
• Uploading or sharing model answers, grading rubrics, or answer keys that were provided to you in confidence.

4.3 During an assessment
• Using the Service, or any JurisNote feature or AI tool, during a closed-book, limited-materials, proctored, or otherwise restricted assessment, unless your professor has expressly permitted it in writing for that assessment.
• Circumventing or attempting to circumvent an examination's rules, software restrictions, time limits, materials limits, or proctoring measures.
• Coordinating with other users through the Service — including comments, study-group posts, shared outlines, or share links — to exchange assessment content during an active assessment window.

4.4 Confidential and restricted material
• Sharing material a professor or institution designated confidential, restricted, "for this section only," or not for redistribution.
• Publishing material you do not have the right to publish. Your rights and obligations for uploaded and published material are set out in the User-Generated Content Policy at /legal/user-generated-content and the Public Sharing Rules at /legal/public-sharing-rules.

4.5 The "exam prohibited" flag
When an author publishes an item to the Library, the author may mark it with an "exam prohibited" flag, indicating that the material must not be used during an examination or graded assessment. If you see that flag, you must honor it. Honoring the flag is a condition of your use of the Service. The absence of the flag is not an assurance that any use is permitted — Section 2 still controls.

If you are an author, set the flag accurately, and set it whenever the material could reasonably be mistaken for permitted examination material. Do not use the flag to make a false claim about the origin of material.

AI, GRADING, AND DISCLOSURE
5.1 AI feedback is not a grade
JurisNote's AI grading, scoring, and feedback features are practice aids. They are NOT real grades, not predictions of your actual grade, and carry no academic weight of any kind. No JurisNote score has been reviewed or endorsed by your professor or your school.

5.2 AI output can be wrong
AI output is probabilistic and may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, or confidently wrong, including as to case holdings, procedural posture, jurisdiction, and black-letter rules. You are responsible for independently verifying every AI-generated statement before relying on it or using it in coursework. See the AI Usage & Disclosure Policy at /ai-usage.

5.3 AI use in coursework is governed by your institution
Whether you may use AI at all — for outlining, drafting, research, practice, or any other purpose — is decided by your school and your professor, course by course and assignment by assignment. JurisNote does not and cannot make that decision for you, and does not warrant that any AI feature is permissible in your course.

5.4 Duty to disclose
Where your institution, your professor, a journal, a competition, a clerkship application, or a bar admission authority requires you to disclose the use of AI assistance, you must disclose it accurately and completely, including AI assistance obtained through JurisNote. AI-generated content produced on the Service is labeled in the product; that labeling exists to help you, and does not discharge your disclosure obligation.

5.5 No individual AI opt-out
There is no user-level opt-out from AI processing on the Service. An institution may enable an institution-level AI control that disables AI features for its users. If your school has done so, respect it.

REPORTING ACADEMIC-INTEGRITY CONCERNS
If you believe material on the Service violates this Policy — for example, an active exam has been posted, or confidential professor material has been uploaded — report it.
• Use the in-product report control on the published item or deck and select the "academic integrity" category. Other categories include copyright, copied professor material, copied textbook or supplement material, copied bar-preparation material, copied from another user, inaccurate or misleading, offensive or abusive, and other.
• You do not need a JurisNote account to report. The deck and card report flow accepts reports from non-users; an email address is required so we can follow up, but a login is not.
• Professors, deans, academic-integrity officers, and publishers may use the same reporting path.
• You may also write to us at support@jurisnote.net. For copyright and DMCA matters, use info@jurisnote.net or the public notice form at /legal/dmca-notice (no login required).

Please include enough detail to identify the item, the institution and course if known, and why the material should not be available.

HOW WE RESPOND
We review reports and take the action we consider appropriate, which may include:
• removing or restricting access to the reported material;
• unpublishing an item or requiring re-review before it can be republished;
• suspending your public-sharing privileges, which is enforced at the server level and prevents further publishing;
• disabling your account, invalidating your sessions, or terminating your account;
• restricting access to specific features.

Administrative actions are recorded in an append-only, hash-chained moderation audit log. Enforcement for repeat copyright infringement is governed separately by the Repeat Infringer Policy at /legal/repeat-infringer.

Note an important limit: unpublishing material does not delete or recall copies or forks that other users already made. Those copies persist independently. Withdraw material promptly, but do not assume withdrawal undoes distribution.

COOPERATION WITH INSTITUTIONS — WHAT WE DO AND DO NOT DO
We want to be precise about this, because students reasonably want to know.

8.1 What we do NOT do
• We do NOT proactively monitor your account, your study activity, or your content for honor-code violations.
• We do NOT proactively report students to their law schools, to bar examiners, or to character-and-fitness committees.
• We do NOT adjudicate honor-code matters or issue findings that a student violated an honor code.

8.2 What we DO do
• We respond to lawful process — subpoenas, court orders, and other legally binding demands — as required by law.
• We respond to authorized institutional requests from institutional customers, within the scope of that institution's license, its own policies, and applicable law.
• For institutional users, we treat FERPA as in scope and maintain a disclosure log consistent with 34 C.F.R. § 99.32 recording disclosures of education records, along with per-institution retention settings.
• Institutions with SSO or SCIM provisioning can create, manage, and deprovision accounts for their users through their own identity provider. Where your account is provisioned by your school, your school controls that account's existence and access.
• We act on reports we receive, as described in Section 7.

How we handle personal information generally is described in our Privacy Policy at /privacy.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITY
You are solely responsible for your compliance with your honor code and for the academic and professional consequences of your conduct. Nothing in this Policy shifts that responsibility to JurisNote, and JurisNote is not liable for any academic, disciplinary, admission, or licensure outcome arising from your use of the Service. See the warranty disclaimer and limitation of liability in the Terms of Service at /terms.

CHANGES TO THIS POLICY
We may update this Policy from time to time. The Effective Date and Last Updated fields above identify the current version, and prior versions are superseded on the Effective Date of a new version. When changes are material, we will notify you by email and/or in-app notice before they take effect, and we may require you to re-accept this Policy or a related certification before you continue publishing or sharing. Continued use of the Service after the Effective Date of a change constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.
