What CLIEAIR cannot do.

CLIEAIR cannot be your lawyer.

Nothing on this site is legal advice. CLIEAIR is an investigative-records and document-drafting tool. The output is work product — your attorney decides what to file, when, and how to argue it.

If you don't have an attorney, the accountability lookup + state legal-aid links are the right starting place. We try hard to make the path clear; we cannot substitute for counsel.

CLIEAIR cannot tell you whether someone is guilty.

This is the most important limit. CLIEAIR provides the link, never the editorial conclusion. We do not characterize the conduct of any judge, attorney, GAL, evaluator, sheriff, or other official. We surface the official channels, the rules, the citations, and the records. Conclusions belong to investigators, juries, judges, licensing boards — not to us.

This is why every output goes through our defamation guard. Phrases that characterize people as corrupt, biased, predators, liars, etc. are blocked. Even with a source URL.

CLIEAIR cannot predict the outcome of your case.

Mandamus is discretionary. Bar complaints close more often than they open. Evaluators are sanctioned rarely. A judicial-conduct commission complaint that names a sitting judge is usually confidential until formal charges, and most do not reach formal charges. CLIEAIR shows you the pathway — but does not promise it will lead to the result you want.

CLIEAIR cannot verify the merits of a sealed case.

If your case is sealed, the trial-court file is by definition not open to CLIEAIR or to the public. We can show you the writ pathway (Sealed Pathways) and the SCOTUS doctrines. We cannot tell you whether your sealing was justified or pretextual. That determination belongs to the appellate court.

CLIEAIR cannot guarantee that an official will respond.

FOIA responses are statutorily required but routinely delayed. Bar complaints take 6-18 months on average. Judicial-conduct investigations are confidential. License boards close many complaints without action. CLIEAIR drafts the request and surfaces the channel; the channel decides what to do.

If you encounter a wall of silence, we surface the writ pathway for compelling a response. That is the escape valve — not a guarantee.

CLIEAIR's coverage is not yet 50 states.

The accountability lookup, GAL pathway, evaluator board directory, sealed-case writ pathway, and state court directory currently cover 12 states: CO, OH, CA, TX, NY, FL, IL, WA, MA, AZ, GA, PA. We are expanding. The accountability lookup falls back to federal and national channels (DOJ-CRT, FBI civil rights, ACLU, NAAG) for any state not yet covered.

If your state isn't covered yet and you have local knowledge of where to file — please tell us. Coverage grows with help from users.

CLIEAIR cannot extract text from a sealed PDF.

The vault accepts photos, audio, video, and PDFs. CLIEAIR can extract metadata (EXIF, file timestamps, GPS where present) but cannot read text inside a password-protected document. If the document has a password, the password stays with you.

CLIEAIR cannot file anything on your behalf.

Drafts are downloadable. Filing — signing, paying the filing fee, serving the other party — is yours or your attorney's responsibility. We don't have the licenses or the standing to file in your name.

CLIEAIR's emergency-pages quick-exit is not bulletproof.

The "Close — quick exit" button on the First Hour page replaces the current tab with weather.gov, clears sessionStorage, and attempts to close the window. It cannot wipe browser history, cannot defeat a forensic examination of the device, and cannot stop a screen-sharing observer. If you are in immediate danger from someone with access to your device, use a different device entirely. Crisis Text Line (text "HOME" to 741741) and the DV Hotline (1-800-799-7233) are designed for exactly this — they are run by trained counselors who know the operational security questions to ask.

CLIEAIR cannot diagnose mental health or relationships.

Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS), Munchausen by proxy, narcissistic personality disorder — none of these are diagnoses CLIEAIR makes about anyone. PAS itself is rejected by the APA, WHO, APSAC, and NCJFCJ. When a GAL or evaluator invokes PAS in a custody report, CLIEAIR will help you cite the rejection record. CLIEAIR will not return the favor by labeling the other parent.

CLIEAIR is not affiliated with any government agency.

CLIEAIR is a Civil Liberties Investigative Enforcement by AI Review platform — independent, free for crisis use, donor-supported. We are not the government. We are not endorsed by any state. The official channels we link to are real; our service is not their service.
