Conditions for responsible use of the attorney-to-attorney platform.

Attorney-only use and prohibited conduct

You may not use CoverageCases unlawfully; impersonate another person; submit false, misleading, or unauthorized material; probe or disrupt security; scrape, republish, or resell marketplace information; introduce malicious code; interfere with other users; or use the service to solicit or match prospective clients with lawyers.

You may not imply that CoverageCases, Stripe, or The Florida Bar recommends, endorses, supervises, guarantees, or has independently confirmed the current eligibility of any attorney, engagement, or result.

CoverageCases provides technology that allows attorneys to locate and communicate with other attorneys concerning temporary coverage of existing client matters. CoverageCases is not a law firm, does not provide legal services, does not establish an attorney-client relationship, and does not refer prospective clients, recommend or rank attorneys, or determine whether an attorney is appropriate for a particular matter.

Confidentiality and independent responsibility

Submit a government ID and selfie only through the Stripe-hosted Identity flow. Do not place identity documents, facial or biometric material, payment credentials, privileged material, complete dates of birth, government identification numbers, financial or health information, passwords, authentication secrets, unredacted discovery, or other sensitive records in CoverageCases forms, uploads, support email, or marketplace fields.

The CoverageCases application database does not store copies of the ID or selfie, extracted identification number, date of birth, address, or biometric identifiers. Stripe collects and stores submitted verification data as described in the Privacy Policy and Stripe's privacy materials. CoverageCases is not a confidential document repository or secure case-file transfer service; attorneys must use a separately evaluated secure channel for substantive files and confidential materials.

I affirm that this is an existing client matter, not a prospective-client referral; I am authorized to share the information entered; I have obtained any client authorization, consent, or disclosure required by applicable law, court rule, or Rules Regulating The Florida Bar for use of stand-in or coverage counsel; and I have not entered unnecessary confidential information. I remain responsible for client communication, conflicts, competence, court requirements, and determining whether coverage is permitted. Attorney compensation is separate from the CoverageCases posting fee and is not contingent on the legal outcome. CoverageCases does not select, recommend, employ, supervise, or guarantee the covering attorney. I accept the applicable Coverage Assignment Terms.

I affirm that I am currently authorized to practice law in Florida and that my profile information is accurate. I have independently cleared conflicts and am competent for this limited assignment. I have reviewed the court, date, scope, compensation, expenses, deadlines, and cancellation terms. I will comply with confidentiality duties, client instructions, and court rules. I understand that CoverageCases verification is not an endorsement, conflicts check, competence determination, or guarantee. I accept the applicable Coverage Assignment Terms.
