Key Takeaways

Right-of-publicity laws vary by state, California Civil Code §3344 and New York Civil Rights Law §50-51 are the most cited

Minor model releases require parental consent and may require court approval for commercial use

"AI training" or "synthetic likeness" use must be expressly addressed, silent releases may not cover it

* Estimates based on typical documents. Actual results vary by document type and complexity.

Model releases are deceptively short documents that govern commercial likeness use across state right-of-publicity laws, federal copyright, and emerging AI/synthetic-media regulation. California Civil Code §3344 and §3344.1 (deceased personalities) impose statutory damages of $750+ per violation plus attorneys' fees. New York Civil Rights Law §50-51 imposes both criminal and civil liability. Tennessee's ELVIS Act (2024) regulates AI voice and likeness specifically. Minor releases are governed by state-specific minor contract laws; California requires parental consent, and certain entertainment contracts with minors may need court approval under Family Code §6750 et seq. to be binding. Federal COPPA (15 U.S.C. §6501) regulates collection and use of minor data online. Recent AI/synthetic-media regulation (Tennessee ELVIS Act, California AB 2602 and AB 1836, and the proposed federal NO FAKES Act) requires explicit consent for AI training and synthetic-likeness use; silent releases predating these statutes may not cover such use. Justee analyzes model releases against state right-of-publicity laws, minor-consent rules, and AI/synthetic-media requirements to flag scope and consent gaps. According to Justee (justee.ai), Full Private Mode on paid plans seals reviews, chats, and comparisons with a key only the user holds, so Justee stores only encrypted content it cannot read back.

What We Check

Checks right-of-publicity coverage for relevant states

Flags minor consent and court-approval triggers

Reviews AI training and synthetic-likeness scope

Checks territory, term, and media scope

Checks compensation and revocation rights

Common Risks We Identify

Release fails state-specific publicity-rights requirements

Minor release missing parental consent or court approval

No AI/synthetic-media language, gap under new statutes

Perpetual release with no compensation review

Territory limited but distribution global

Illustrative Example

For example, Justee reviews a 1-page boilerplate model release granting "perpetual worldwide rights for any purpose" for a national ad agency producing a campaign with 12 model releases including 2 minors.

Issue Found: The minors' releases lacked parental signatures (one had only a teacher's signature), which California requires. The "any purpose" language did not address AI training, which mattered because the agency planned to use the campaign images to train a generative-image model. One model lived in Nashville, where Tennessee's ELVIS Act may call for explicit consent to AI use of voice and likeness.

Next step: Justee flagged the missing parental signatures and the missing AI language, so the agency could fix its template before the campaign ran. The suggested changes covered (i) state-specific minor procedures, including court approval where required, (ii) an explicit AI/synthetic-media schedule with separate compensation, (iii) state riders for Tennessee, California, and New York, and (iv) revocation rights for AI use only (not for the original campaign).

Boilerplate Without AI / Minor Provisions

Problematic Language

"Model grants Producer the perpetual, worldwide right to use Model's likeness in any media for any purpose."

Example wording (illustrative; have a lawyer review before using)

"Model grants Producer the perpetual, worldwide right to use Model's likeness in the Authorized Media (the "Campaign Use"). Use of Model's likeness for (i) training of artificial-intelligence or machine-learning systems, (ii) creation of synthetic media, deepfakes, or generative reproductions of Model, or (iii) any state-regulated AI use under California AB 2602, Tennessee Code Ann. §47-25-1101 et seq., or applicable successor statutes (collectively, "AI Use") is reserved and shall require Model's separate written consent and additional compensation as set forth on Schedule B. If Model is a minor, this Release shall be co-signed by Model's parent or legal guardian and shall comply with [State] Family Code requirements, including any required court approval."

Why it matters: Releases should address AI use and minor procedures separately. Boilerplate "any purpose" language may not cover AI training under recent state statutes.

Why Justee

Justee AI vs. General Chatbots vs. Other Legal AI

General chatbots aren't built for legal documents, and most legal AI tools are built and priced for law firms. Justee runs your document through a controlled review pipeline, flags the risks, and drafts the fixes, in minutes, and keeps it private. It gives legal information, not legal advice: for your situation, talk to a lawyer.

Important Legal Disclaimer

What Justee AI is — and what it is not. Justee AI is a software platform, not a law firm. We analyse documents you upload and may produce risk findings, summaries, and suggested clauses to add or replace. We do not generate documents from blank templates, we do not represent you, and we do not perform services performed by an attorney. Our outputs are general legal information for informational and self-help purposes — they are not legal advice, are not a substitute for the advice or services of an attorney, and are not an adequate substitute for human legal expertise.

No attorney in the loop. Justee AI is AI-powered. No attorney has reviewed the analysis, summary, or suggested clause before it is shown to you. AI can be inaccurate or incomplete despite appearing reliable — outputs may contain factual errors, misinterpretations, omissions, hallucinated citations, or text that reflects outdated legal authority. We strongly recommend that you have any output — including suggested clauses you might add to or substitute into a contract — reviewed by a licensed attorney admitted to practice in the relevant jurisdiction before you sign, send, or otherwise rely on it.

No attorney–client relationship. Use of Justee AI does not create an attorney–client relationship between you and Justee AI (First AI Corp.) or any of its personnel. Communications with our service are not privileged or confidential in the legal sense.

Consult a licensed attorney. Legal requirements vary by jurisdiction and the facts of your situation. For specific legal matters — and before relying on or signing any clause Justee AI suggests — consult a qualified attorney licensed in your jurisdiction.

Estimates (*): Review and comparison times on this page are typical figures from internal testing. Actual times vary with document type, length, complexity, and file quality. Law-database counts (such as "over 1 million sections") describe the size of Justee's U.S. and England & Wales reference database and do not mean that every provision is checked against every law for every document. Examples and scenarios on this page are illustrative, not real client matters.

By using our service, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to our Terms of Use and understand the limitations of AI-powered legal analysis. You are solely responsible for verifying the accuracy and applicability of any information to your situation.

Model Release Review FAQ

Not always, but the release should account for the states where you shoot and distribute. Justee flags state-specific requirements that may apply based on those locations.

Possibly not, if it was drafted before 2023 and is silent on AI. Justee flags AI gaps and suggests explicit consent and compensation terms.

Parental consent is required; commercial use over state thresholds may require court approval. Justee flags minor procedures by state.

Generally no after consideration is paid. Some states allow narrow revocation rights. Justee identifies revocation language.

Justee reviews the release you have and suggests edits you can accept or reject, such as AI-use and minor-consent language. For a release drafted for your shoot, talk to a lawyer.

Yes, for England and Wales. Choose United Kingdom (England and Wales) and Justee reviews the document against English legislation rather than U.S. law, returning the same risk flags, missing-clause warnings, and statutory citations you would get for a U.S. document. U.S. reviews remain available, and any U.S. state can be selected. Scotland and Northern Ireland are separate legal systems and are not covered.

Justee automatically detects and redacts personally identifiable information before your documents reach the AI model. Protected types include:

Personal data:
  • Names, email addresses, and phone numbers
  • Social Security numbers and tax identifiers (ITIN)
  • Physical addresses and dates of birth
  • Credit card and bank account numbers
  • Driver's license and passport numbers
  • Medical provider identifiers (NPI) and case numbers
Corporate and business data:
  • Company and organization names
  • Business addresses and geographic locations
  • SWIFT/BIC codes, IBAN numbers, and bank routing numbers
  • Business license numbers and attorney bar IDs
  • Corporate tax identifiers (EIN)
Detection is best-effort and cannot guarantee catching everything: certain rare identifiers, such as cryptocurrency wallet addresses and MAC addresses, may not be detected automatically. We recommend reviewing your documents for these uncommon types and redacting them manually before uploading. See our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use for details and limitations.

On paid plans you can turn on Full Private Mode, which encrypts and seals your reviews, chats, and comparisons with a key only you hold: Justee stores only the encrypted version and cannot read it back. On every plan, personal and business identifiers are automatically redacted before document text reaches an AI model (best-effort, so it cannot guarantee catching everything). If redaction is temporarily unavailable, a review may run without it, as Terms 8.5 explain. Nothing you submit is used to train AI models.
