Your source for legal and consumer information...Whether you are a lawyer or not, come join us and discuss how the law impacts you. We hope you will visit often! Scroll down for an extensive listing of helpful legal information internet links.

Our main rule is "Be polite and don't flame others". Full forum rules are available online. The forum does not allow the posting of hate speech or slurs based on gender, race, religion, nationality, age or sexual preference.

If you are a non-lawyer with a legal or consumer question we encourage you to post in the "ASK A LAWYER" area of the forum, where lawyers can answer posts. The other topics are for information, discussion, and news. Please ask questions solely in "ASK A LAWYER". Please do not ask questions for a friend, or general hypothetical questions, and use this service only for questions about yourself and your immediate household. (The lawyers who answer volunteer their time and want to use their time to help people with their own problems, and appreciate your understanding. We're appreciative of the time they donate to our members.) While non-lawyers may answer posts in the ASK A LAWYER folder, we do require that those posts identify the poster as a non-lawyer (and will remove posts that do not do so, or that contain incorrect or dangerous suggestions)

For more details on Ask a Lawyer, click here. Please be sure to limit questions to your own personal problems and not for hypothetical questions or questions for friends.

If you have a legal problem and need a lawyer, you'll find a lot of helpful tips on finding and hiring one at http://forums.delphiforums.com/perlaw/messages?msg=70363.1.
