Best forum for attorney questions?

What's the best forum for asking questions of attorneys -- Jobs and Careers or Off Topic? Anyone had better or worse luck with their questions?

Sometimes I wonder if there should just be a whole "attorneys" section, since every other person on here seems to be an attorney!

I would love that.

If it is related to the profession, then jobs and careers. If the issue fits into a forum (family, real estate, relationships, etc) put it there. Otherwise, it goes into off topic.

There are a lot of ethical issues to giving legal advice. I would not be comfortable as an attorney with a legal advice forum - either providing advice or seeing advice provided in such a context, anonymously, with the level of unrestrained nastiness here. It's one thing to comment or give a one-off on a post to someone in distress. It's quite another thing to hang out your shingle.

There are an awful lot of them in the Explicit section. Many showing off their bits. Or bolts.

I don't think there is a way to get legit free legal advice anywhere but straight from the actual mouth of an attorney.

What attorney would spend billable time responding to random questions for free?

I think legal q's should go in existing sections. A forum for legal questions is too broad and might present legal issues.

This entire site is about people giving advice. Most people enjoy sharing what they know. Why would attorneys be any different?

Because they get paid to give legal advice. Not exactly the same as recommending a brand of diapers.

SAHMs don't spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to learn how to parent.
