Before any South Dakota ad runs.
A plain summary of the official rules, checked October 28, 2026. It is not legal advice: read the rules at the link and ask the bar's ethics line when in doubt. Every ad we write for a South Dakota firm is built to these rules, and you approve it before it runs.
In South Dakota, online ads must be mostly factual, past-results claims and testimonials need the required disclaimers, and any written or recorded solicitation must be mailed to the State Bar 30 days before it goes out.
- Who enforces it
- South Dakota Supreme Court (rules); State Bar of South Dakota receives solicitation filings
- Filing or review
- No general filing requirement found in the official rules. Ordinary advertising is not filed. A copy of every written or recorded solicitation of employment must be mailed to the State Bar in Pierre at least 30 days before it goes out (Rule 7.3(c)). Lawyers must also keep a copy of each ad for 2 years (Rule 7.2(c)).
- Required labels
- Written, recorded or electronic solicitations aimed at someone known to need legal help in a particular matter must carry 'Advertising Material' (outside envelope, and at the start and end of recorded or electronic messages; 18-point type for written). Every communication must show the name and office address of a responsible lawyer. Ads must disclose if the lawyer lacks professional liability insurance of at least $100,000 (Rule 7.2(l), with the wording in Rule 1.4(c)).
- Testimonials, results, specialist
- Stricter than the ABA default. All communications must be 'predominantly informational'. Past-success claims need a disclaimer that past success is no assurance of future success. Testimonials need substantiation plus a disclaimer that they are no guarantee, and must disclose if the person is not an actual client or was given something of value. No guarantees or predictions, no unverifiable self-praise, and dramatizations must be labeled. Lawyers may not state or imply they are specialists unless certified by an approved or ABA-accredited body that is named.
- Online ads
- Rule 7.2(b) expressly allows advertising by internet, computer, e-mail and other electronic communication, subject to Rules 7.1 and 7.3. Live real-time electronic solicitation is barred unless the person is a lawyer or has a family, close personal or prior professional relationship (Rule 7.3(a)). Ads aimed only outside South Dakota are exempt from Rule 7.2 if they comply where aimed and are not expected to reach South Dakota.
- ChatGPT Ads
- OpenAI accepts US law-firm ads from firms licensed where the ad runs, after business verification and ad review. A ChatGPT ad aimed at South Dakota needs your South Dakota license, and it is still lawyer advertising under the rules above.
