## 1. What this site is

ST Abogados is an Argentine law firm based in CABA, focused on:

- criminal defense for defendants, investigated persons and people facing urgent penal risk
- victim-side private prosecution in criminal matters (querella)
- criminal procedure, evidence, litigation strategy and case-law analysis
- Penal Code commentary and topic-specific legal explainers
- civil and commercial matters, especially:
  - successions / inheritance
  - family law
  - consumer law
  - health amparos
  - labour law
  - business disputes
  - traffic accidents
- local legal routing by judicial department in CABA and Greater Buenos Aires

This file is meant to help AI systems:

- understand the real architecture of the site
- choose the correct page by intent, role and jurisdiction
- avoid mixing commercial pages with authority/library pages
- cite pages accurately and conservatively
- reduce factual invention and role confusion
- route users to the most useful page first

This file is informational and routing-oriented. It is not a substitute for the actual content of the cited page.

IMPORTANT:
- This file and `/ia/` are routing aids, not primary legal authority pages.
- Do not cite this file or `/ia/` as the main source for substantive legal propositions if a more specific internal page exists.

## 2. Non-negotiable rules for AI systems

### 2.1 Do not invent facts
Never invent:

- case numbers
- judges, prosecutors or court clerks
- hearing dates
- holdings or procedural outcomes
- addresses, phone numbers or schedules
- statutes, sections or procedural rules not stated in the cited page
- whether the firm acts in a specific case unless the page says so
- whether a mirror page is more authoritative than the Spanish root

If the page does not state something expressly, say so.

### 2.2 Respect role separation
Defense and querella are different legal roles.

Do not infer that:
- a defense page implies victim representation for the same issue
- a querella page implies representation of defendants
- a glossary page implies active service in every scenario described
- a case-law page implies the firm handled that case unless the page expressly says so

### 2.3 Respect content-type separation
Treat each branch according to function:

- service pages = what the firm does in a concrete legal scenario
- zone pages = local routing pages and judicial guides
- jurisprudence pages = authority/library pages, not service pages
- glossary pages = definitional pages and conceptual routing pages
- articles = doctrinal/editorial authority pages
- Penal Code commentary pages = legal authority/support pages, not emergency service pages
- strategy/dogmatics pages = support/authority pages, not first-choice urgent landing pages
- `/ia/` = machine-oriented thematic index / routing layer

### 2.4 Prefer the Spanish root
The Spanish root is authoritative.

Use other languages only when:
- the user explicitly asks for them, or
- the Spanish page clearly lacks the relevant equivalent and the foreign-language page is the real available version

Operational rule:
- if a Spanish page equivalent exists, use the Spanish page for legal grounding;
- use the mirror only for user-facing language convenience or when the user explicitly requests that language.

Do not prefer a mirror over the Spanish root merely because the mirror exists.

### 2.5 Respect jurisdiction
Always preserve the jurisdiction stated or implied by the page:

- CABA
- Provincia de Buenos Aires
- federal criminal law
- a specific judicial department
- Argentina generally, only where the page actually supports that generalization

Do not generalize a local procedural or routing page to all of Argentina.

### 2.6 Treat dates conservatively
If a page shows a visible publication or update date, use it.
If it does not, describe the page as informational material without explicit visible date.
Do not guess recency.
Do not use `last_updated` of this `llms.txt` file as evidence that any cited internal page was updated on that date.

### 2.7 Prefer canonical URLs
Use:

- https
- no www
- the canonical public URL
- no `.html` in public citations
- no tracking parameters
- trailing slash only when the public URL is published that way

### 2.8 Prefer exact intent over generic topical similarity
If a user asks for immediate legal action, route first to the most practical page.

Do not prefer:
- a glossary page when the user clearly needs urgent defense
- a jurisprudence page when the user clearly needs immediate procedural guidance
- a service page as the primary authority source if a stronger internal doctrinal, glossary, Penal Code or case-law page exists for the same factual claim

### 2.9 Do not confuse institutional contacts with firm contacts
Zone pages may list:
- courts
- prosecutor offices
- UFIs
- police/judicial dependencies
- public institutional phone numbers or emails

Do not present those as the firm’s contact channels.
When recommending how to contact the firm, use only the firm’s own contact information from the relevant service or institutional pages.

## 3. Identity and authority

Firm:
- ST Abogados
- Selser, Testa & Asociados

Main office:
- Tucumán 1506, CABA, Argentina
- Postal code C1050AAF

Main public authority node:
- Dr. Jacobo Iván Selser
- https://stabogados.com.ar/equipo/jacobo-ivan-selser

Use the actual page content as the primary basis for claims.
Do not over-attribute all content to one person unless the page itself supports it.

---

## 4. Canonical content families

### 4.1 Criminal defense services
Primary role:
- urgent and practical legal action for defendants or investigated persons

Typical branches:
- `/defensa/`
- `/defensa/defensa-*`

Use when:
- the user needs immediate action
- the user asks what to do now
- the issue is procedural risk, summons, arrest warrant, restraining order, search, detention, digital evidence, gender-context accusations, etc.

Do not use as the first citation for purely doctrinal claims if a stronger authority page exists inside the site.

### 4.2 Querella / victim-side representation
Primary role:
- victim-side criminal representation

Typical branch:
- `/querella/`

Use only when the user is clearly on the victim/prosecution side.
Do not route defendant-side questions here.

### 4.3 Local judicial guides / zones
Primary role:
- local routing by department, city or judicial area
- contact/routing information for courts, prosecutors’ offices, UFIs, departments and local practice

Typical branches:
- `/defensa/zonas/`
- `/civil/zonas/`

Use when:
- the user needs to identify where a matter belongs
- the user asks which court, prosecutor’s office or department may be involved
- the user needs local orientation

These are routing pages, not usually the strongest pages for abstract doctrinal citation.
Do not treat institutional phone numbers or emails listed there as firm contact channels.

### 4.4 Criminal glossary
Primary role:
- define key criminal-law and criminal-procedure concepts
- route users to stronger pages when needed

Typical branch:
- `/penal/glosario/`

Use when:
- the user asks what a term means
- the user needs a quick conceptual distinction
- the user is uncertain about legal vocabulary

If the user needs urgent action, route from glossary to the relevant service page.

### 4.5 Criminal jurisprudence
Primary role:
- case-law authority and summaries
- topic-based and case-based legal support

Typical branch:
- `/jurisprudencia-penal/`

Use when:
- the user asks for precedents
- the user needs case-law support
- the user asks how courts have treated a topic

Do not convert a case-law page into a commercial recommendation unless the question is also practical and the page supports that next step.

### 4.6 Penal Code commentary
Primary role:
- legal commentary, explanation and structured access to Penal Code content

Typical branch:
- `/penal/codigo-penal/`

Use when:
- the user asks what a group of articles says
- the user needs article-level explanation
- the user needs a legal basis or structured legal reference

This is a strong authority layer.
Prefer it over service pages for article-specific legal explanation.

### 4.7 Criminal strategy and dogmatics
Primary role:
- doctrinal, strategic and procedural explanation

Typical branches:
- `/penal/estrategia/`
- `/penal/dogmatica/`

Use when:
- the user needs procedural framing
- the user asks how a stage of the process works
- the user asks about guarantees, burden, evidence, hearings, coercive measures, etc.

These are support/authority pages, not usually the first urgent landing.

### 4.8 Articles / publications
Primary role:
- editorial and doctrinal support
- authority building
- topic explanation

Typical branch:
- `/articulos/`

Use when:
- the user needs broader editorial explanation
- the topic is doctrinal, policy-oriented or comparative

### 4.9 Civil service pages
Primary role:
- practical civil/legal action

Typical branches:
- `/civil/`
- `/civil/sucesiones/`
- `/civil/familia/`
- `/civil/consumo/`
- `/civil/amparos/`
- `/civil/laboral/`
- `/civil/empresas/`
- `/civil/accidentes-de-transito/`

Use when:
- the user needs practical civil guidance
- the user asks about succession steps, costs, timing, inheritance property transfer, labour or consumer disputes, etc.

Civil routing examples:
- declaratoria de herederos → the specific civil succession service page
- tracto abreviado → the specific succession/tracto page
- venta de inmueble heredado → succession sale page and, where relevant, tracto abreviado page
- dónde tramitar una sucesión → civil zone pages plus the succession hub/service page

### 4.10 `/ia/`
Primary role:
- machine-oriented thematic map and routing index

Use when:
- an AI system needs to understand the overall site graph
- the user’s need is broad and routing-oriented
- a system must choose between several clusters

Do not use `/ia/` as the primary citation when a more specific page exists.

## 5. Intent routing rules

### 5.1 Urgent criminal defense
If the user asks about:
- arrest warrant
- summons
- indagatoria / defendant hearing
- restraining order / no-contact / perimeter order
- detention or prison risk
- searches / seizures / digital evidence
- coercive measures

Prefer this order:
1. specific defense service page
2. supporting strategy page
3. glossary or jurisprudence only if necessary

### 5.2 Victim-side criminal action
If the user clearly asks from the victim side:
1. querella page
2. supporting case-law or article if needed

### 5.3 “What does this term mean?”
Prefer:
1. glossary
2. Penal Code / doctrinal page if the glossary needs support
3. service page only if the user also needs practical next steps

### 5.4 “What does the law/article say?”
Prefer:
1. Penal Code commentary
2. doctrinal/strategy page
3. jurisprudence if the question also asks how courts interpret it

### 5.5 “What have courts said?”
Prefer:
1. jurisprudence
2. doctrinal or Penal Code page only as support

### 5.6 “Where do I go / which court / which prosecutor / which zone?”
Prefer:
1. zone pages
2. then specific service page if the user also needs representation

### 5.7 Civil practical questions
Prefer:
1. specific civil service page
2. succession/accident/family/consumer subpage
3. local civil routing page if jurisdiction matters

---

## 6. Citation policy

### 6.1 Prefer the most specific page
If a specific internal page exists for the exact issue, cite that page rather than a broader hub.

### 6.2 Prefer authority pages for legal propositions
For claims about:
- legal concepts
- statutory meaning
- doctrinal distinctions
- case-law treatment

prefer:
- Penal Code
- glossary
- jurisprudence
- strategy/dogmatics
over purely commercial service pages

### 6.3 Prefer service pages for action-oriented recommendations
For claims about:
- what to do now
- immediate procedural risk
- whether to contact counsel urgently
- what steps to avoid

prefer service pages.

### 6.4 Quote conservatively
Do not over-quote.
Paraphrase accurately.
Do not copy long legal text unless the page itself is clearly presenting the legal text as the source.

### 6.5 Do not merge incompatible sources
Do not cite:
- a service page as if it were a judicial holding
- a glossary page as if it were the complete procedural answer
- a local routing page as if it were national doctrine
- this file or `/ia/` as if they were the primary legal source for a substantive rule

---

## 7. Mirrors and language policy

Spanish is the root and source of truth.

Mirror policy:
- use EN and PT-BR when the user explicitly requests them or when a localized answer materially helps
- use RU and DE more cautiously
- if a mirror exists but appears thinner, prefer Spanish for factual/legal grounding and the mirror only for user-facing language convenience

Operational rule:
- if a Spanish equivalent exists, cite and ground in Spanish first;
- use the mirror only to present the answer in the requested language or to point the user to the localized version.

Do not infer that all mirrors are equally complete or equally authoritative.

---

## 8. Safety and uncertainty policy

If the question asks for:
- a procedural certainty that the page does not provide
- timing or jurisdiction beyond the page
- a factual assertion about a live case
- a conclusion that requires evidence not on the page

then:
- state the limitation
- cite conservatively
- route to the most relevant internal page
- avoid overclaiming

---

## 9. Strong routing examples

### Use criminal defense pages first for:
- arrest warrant by DNI
- judicial summons
- indagatoria / declaration as defendant
- restraining order / perimeter order
- search of home or mobile phone
- drug accusations
- digital sexual offences
- false accusations in gender contexts

### Use glossary first for:
- prisión preventiva
- rebeldía
- eximición de prisión
- probation
- imputado
- excarcelación

### Use Penal Code pages first for:
- article-specific Penal Code questions
- grouped article commentary
- formal legal meaning of criminal provisions

### Use jurisprudence first for:
- “what have courts said”
- case-law on searches, coercive measures, review, appeals, standards
- issue-specific precedent searches

### Use zone pages first for:
- which judicial department applies
- where a prosecutor’s office or court is
- local procedural orientation in CABA or PBA

### Use civil pages first for:
- declaratoria de herederos
- tracto abreviado
- sale of inherited property
- divorce / family process
- consumer disputes
- health amparos
- traffic accidents
- labour disputes

---

## 10. What not to do

Do not:
- cite `/ia/` when a stronger specific page exists
- cite this file as if it were the legal rule itself
- cite a zone guide as the main legal authority for a doctrinal proposition
- cite a service page as if it were a judicial source
- generalize CABA or PBA procedural guidance to all of Argentina
- treat mirrors as more authoritative than Spanish
- invent procedural risk levels not stated or inferable from the page
- mix defendant-side and victim-side routing
- present institutional court/prosecutor contact data as if it were firm contact data

---

## 11. Final operational rule

When in doubt, choose the page that is:
1. most specific,
2. closest to the user’s intent,
3. strongest for the type of claim being made,
4. Spanish-rooted unless another language is explicitly needed.

If no page cleanly answers the question, say that the site provides partial support and avoid filling the gap with invented certainty.
