Community rules
Operating draft for the founding cohort. Full legal terms remain on the Terms page. This is a respectful, fact-focused membership community — not a law firm.
- Rule 1
Be specific and constructive
Name a concrete problem, support it with labeled sources/facts, and state a question or proposed research step. Pure outrage without a defined issue will be returned.
- Rule 2
No legal advice / no attorney-client relationship
Peers may share general information and experience. Do not solicit or provide case-specific counsel. Participation does not create representation.
- Rule 3
Facts vs opinions
Label documented facts (order, filing, transcript) separately from allegations, interpretations, and hypotheses.
- Rule 4
Protect privacy
Do not post sealed records, juvenile-identifying information, unredacted personal data, medical details, SSNs, financial account numbers, or home addresses.
- Rule 5
Civility
Critique systems, procedures, and filings — not people with insults, slurs, or threats.
- Rule 6
No illegality or violence
No threats, doxxing, or encouragement of illegal acts.
- Rule 7
No spam or client solicitation
No ads, lead-gen, or fundraising without admin approval.
- Rule 8
Honest roles
Do not misrepresent credentials. Attorneys and clinic staff should disclose role context when relevant.
- Rule 9
Admin visibility
You may use a public display name; admins must be able to reach the real applicant identity on file.
- Rule 10
Moderator authority
Incomplete or non-compliant posts may be edited, returned, or removed. Repeated violations lead to suspension.
