Weasel Words (AKA Disclaimer)

One humorous disclaimer I saw on a legal blog:

this is not legal advice, this is a general information blog post on the internet. (And if it's on the internet, it's gotta be true, right? Uh ... no.) If you haven't paid me a retainer, you are not (yet) my client and should not rely on any of this information to make any decisions. The law is complicated. The facts even more so. If I could have learned the law by reading blogs, I'd ask for money back from those three plus years of hell I paid for in law school.”

You can catch F. Bennett Callicoat’s blog and disclaimers at the Tulsa Bankruptcy and Consumer Law blog.
