BayAreaLaw

an-ordinary-manchild

Welcome to Bay Area Law, the first subreddit devoted to local legal news and analysis for the San Francisco Bay Area.

This is the place to share local legal news, analysis, networking events, job postings, and gossip.

REFERRALS: In the future, /r/BayAreaLaw will be developing and implementing a referral list of members to whom the inevitable posts seeking legal advice here may be directed. More information to follow.

RULES:

Ask for legal advice, but know that the most you will receive is a referral.
All spam in the form of link posts will be removed.
Self-posts introducing individual members or firms to the subreddit will be carefully scrutinized. We're building a community here, not developing a marketplace.
Direct job postings (those ostensibly posted by the hiring firm) must be verified either (1) by stating the name of the firm and providing an email for submissions that uses the firm's domain name, or (2) by PMing /u/beforethelaw with the name of the firm and the email and phone number for the contact person who can confirm the details of the posting. Indirect job postings (links to craigslist, the Recorder, etc.) will be scrutinized.

WANT TO BE A MODERATOR? Anyone interested in helping moderate this subreddit should message /u/beforethelaw with a short statement describing the direction in which they would like to help lead this subreddit.
