SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Process servers and legal support staff often need fast, accurate answers about service of process rules, filing requirements, and jurisdictional questions, but finding verified citations across Oklahoma statutes and federal rules is time-consuming and error-prone. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Statute and Rule Lookup: Locate Oklahoma statutes (Title 12 Civil Procedure, Title 43 Family Law, Title 41 Landlord-Tenant) and federal rules (FRCP Rule 4 and 5) using OSCN, Justia, Cornell LII, and Google Scholar. - Structured Citation Output: Every answer includes the specific citation, a plain-English summary, practical implications for process serving, and a source URL for verification. - Anti-Hallucination Guardrails: The Skill only cites statutes and cases it actually verifies, and recommends consulting an attorney when uncertain. - Use Case: A process server needs to know whether substituted service at a residence is valid in Oklahoma; the Skill finds 12 O.S. § 2004, explains the household-member requirement, and links to the official statute text. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to research Oklahoma's requirements for personal service of a summons and provide the statute citation with a plain-English summary.
