Writing Guidelines

Writing Style

• Use US English spelling and grammar.
• Numbers and statistics are written in numerical form.
• All facts are sourced (with links).

Article Titles

• Clear and concise.
• No profanity in the titles.
• We do not use misleading titles to generate clicks.

Body of Article

• Authors write in a formal, second person voice to ensure clarity in communication.
• All outside references are sourced (with links). This includes any studies, articles, or other research that is associated with a law related piece of information.
• We provide resources for all factual information (statistics, definitions, studies). We do so by stating where the information came from and a hyperlink to the source.
• When discussing potential outcomes and options, we use words like “may” , “can” or “might” so that it is clear we are not making promises about legal processes or outcomes.
• We do not use any language that might mislead a reader into thinking our content is a substitute for professional legal advice.
