Subreddit Rules
- Only verified lawyers may post answers in comments.: Only verified lawyers with flair may answer questions or post top-level comments. Users without verification flair are limited to asking questions in this forum.
- If you are a lawyer and wish to get flair please [message the moderators](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose/?to=/r/Ask_Lawyers).
- Repeated and willful violations of this rule may result in a temporary or permanent ban.
- Do not solicit legal advice.: It is unethical for an attorney to offer legal advice about your specific situation, so do not request any.
- You may request *general advice and information* about the courts. The closest thing to specific legal advice that a lawyer may offer is advising you to speak to a lawyer licensed in your jurisdiction. They may advise you about how to obtain legal representation or counsel.
- Do not give legal advice.: Your comment and the post to which you responded have been removed because the post is suspected of being a request for legal advice. Please do not give legal advice on /r/Ask_Lawyers and please report any post you suspect is a request for legal advice.
- Please message the mods if you feel the post and your comment have been wrongfully removed. Repeated willful violations of this rule is cause for a ban.
- Be civil.: Out of respect for all of our subscribers, including the licensed attorneys who devote time and energy to answering questions about law, we maintain high standards of civility. Please help us maintain a cordial atmosphere by treating all people on this sub with respect, ignoring provocation, and reporting uncivil comments rather than responding in a way that compounds the problem.
- Please message the mods if you are confused by this rule or feel your comment has been wrongfully removed.
- Do not seek to form any financial relationships.: Do not seek to undertake or obtain paid legal representation of anyone here. Do not seek or make a specific referral for paid services.
- If a lawyer is licensed in the jurisdiction of a user and wishes to provide pro bono legal assistance, such an offer is not in violation of this rule so long as all communications deserving of attorney-client privilege are conducted privately.
- Do not bicker.: Answers may be less definitive and more controversial than on other "ask a professional" subs. Lawyers answering questions may disagree with each other.
- Do not bicker about who is right. If two lawyers disagree about an answer they should do their best to explain both sides of the issue to the OP. Once that is accomplished, further argument is not appropriate in this community.
- If you are not a flaired user, you may ask genuine follow-up questions. This is not, however, an open debate forum.
- Provide sources where appropriate.: This is a general rule, but especially important if you are correcting another lawyer's response. Do not simply say they are wrong, but provide a basis and sources where appropriate.
- No low effort answers.: Do not simply link to an article or other source or give a conclusive statement without supporting information. Explain your answer, even if only a brief explanation is required.
- Posts should contain questions about the law.: Your post has been removed because it does not relate to a legal issue or contain a question which lawyers are especially qualified to answer. Ideal questions are not just related to law but are **true legal questions.**
- "If an officer sticks his head through a car window that was already open and sees contraband, does that qualify as a search?"
- That is a true legal question.
- "If you could reverse one Supreme Court case, which would it be and why?"
- That is a law-related question.
- Posts must contain a question: Your post has been removed because it does not contain a question. News stories may be posted for general discussion at /r/Law, /r/politics, or other appropriate subreddits. Please message the mods if you are confused by this rule or feel your post has been wrongfully removed.
