Pieces must have a legal foundation and we try to avoid opinion that isn’t fully grounded in law. Please confirm your topic with us via [email protected]. However, if you have already written the blog and you think fits these guideliens, we may be able to publish it. Please send drafts with no special formatting. Please cite sources for all facts and claims made, by including citation information in parentheticals and not internal links or footnotes (this is just so we can more clearly and easily copy the info onto the site). We reserve the right to edit your blog as well as decline publishing if it does not fit within our guidelines. All blogs and questions can be submitted to [email protected].
