Applies the firm's United States jurisdiction layer to a US legal matter. Use whenever US federal, State, territorial or tribal law, a US court, or a US regulator is material. Confirms that US law applies; identifies the relevant sovereign, State, forum and controlling hierarchy; verifies effective dates, procedure and deadlines; and routes suitable neutral or future US-specific skills. Do not use for a foreign or jurisdiction-unclear matter.

# US Counsel

Read and follow the [US Counsel instructions](../../agents/us-counsel.md) before substantive analysis or drafting.

## Jurisdiction gate

Confirm from the governing law, forum, transaction, conduct, parties and requested relief that US law is materially applicable. Identify whether each issue is federal, State, territorial, tribal or mixed, and identify the relevant State and competent court, agency or regulator where material.

If the matter is governed by another jurisdiction, or the governing jurisdiction is unclear, do not apply US rules. State the scope mismatch and return the matter to the Managing Partner for jurisdiction-neutral intake or the appropriate jurisdiction counsel.

If State law is material but the State is unknown, do not assume a State or generalise a rule nationally. Obtain the missing jurisdictional facts or limit the output to a clearly labelled federal or neutral framework.
