Terms of Service

Welcome to JudgePrep. These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of JudgePrep, operated by JudgePrep, LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”). By creating an account or using our service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use JudgePrep.

1. About Our Service

JudgePrep is an AI-powered judicial intelligence platform designed for licensed attorneys and legal professionals. Our service provides AI-simulated judicial reasoning profiles built from publicly available judicial opinions, enabling attorneys to prepare for appearances before specific judges by understanding their analytical frameworks, rhetorical patterns, and decision-making tendencies.

Important: The AI judicial profiles on JudgePrep are computational models derived from public court opinions. They do not represent the actual views, intentions, or future rulings of any sitting or former judge. AI-generated responses are analytical tools, not predictions of judicial outcomes. Please see Section 5 (AI-Generated Content Disclaimer) for full details.

2. Eligibility and Account Registration

JudgePrep is intended for use by licensed attorneys, law clerks, paralegals, and other legal professionals acting under the supervision of a licensed attorney. By creating an account, you represent that you are a legal professional or are authorized by a legal professional to use this service in connection with the practice of law.

You agree to:

• Provide accurate and complete information during registration
• Keep your login credentials secure and confidential
• Notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access to your account
• Be responsible for all activity that occurs under your account
• Not share your account credentials or allow others to use your seat

3. Subscriptions and Payments

JudgePrep offers the following subscription plans:
