You can ask questions related to various areas of law, legal education, career advice in the legal field, and discussions on recent legal developments. Whether you're a legal professional, student, or simply someone with an interest in law, your questions that contribute to meaningful discussions are welcome.
Before you ask - please make sure to search for a similar question. You can search questions by their title or tags. It’s also OK to answer your own question.
Please avoid asking questions that are too subjective and argumentative or not relevant to this community.
You should only ask practical, answerable questions based on actual problems that you face. Chatty, open-ended questions diminish the usefulness of this site and push other questions off the front page.
Avoid questions that:
- Are not related to law or the legal profession.
- Request personal legal advice. While sharing general legal information is encouraged, our forum cannot substitute for professional legal consultation.
- Contain personal information, either yours or someone else’s, that could compromise privacy.
- Could be construed as advertising or solicitation.
- Are disrespectful, offensive, or discriminatory in nature.
Proper Details:
Provide enough and proper detail to give community members a clear understanding of your question without including any personal or sensitive information. Remember, more context often leads to more accurate and helpful responses. However, brevity combined with clarity is always appreciated.
Answers should not add or expand questions. Instead either edit the question or add a question comment.
- Answers should not comment other answers. Instead add a comment on the other answers.
- Answers shouldn't just point to other Questions. Instead add a question comment indication "Possible duplicate of...". However, it's ok to include links to other questions or answers providing relevant additional information.
- Answers shouldn't just provide a link a solution. Instead provide the solution description text in your answer, even if it's just a copy/paste. Links are welcome, but should be complementary to answer, referring sources or additional reading.

Answers should not start debates This community Q&A is not a discussion group. Please avoid holding debates in your answers as they tend to dilute the essence of questions and answers. For brief discussions please use commenting facility.
When a question or answer is upvoted, the user who posted them will gain some points, which are called "karma points". These points serve as a rough measure of the community trust to him/her. Various moderation tasks are gradually assigned to the users based on those points.
For example, if you ask an interesting question or give a helpful answer, your input will be upvoted. On the other hand if the answer is misleading - it will be downvoted. Each vote in favor will generate 10 points, each vote against will subtract 2 points. There is a limit of 200 points that can be accumulated for a question or answer per day. The table given at the end explains reputation point requirements for each type of moderation task.
The goal of this site is create a relevant knowledge base that would answer questions related to Law and help public at large.
Therefore questions and answers can be edited like wiki pages by experienced users of this site in order to improve the overall quality of the knowledge base content. Such privileges are granted based on user karma level: you will be able to do the same once your karma gets high enough.
If this approach is not for you, please respect the community.
