A place to ask legal questions?

+4
−1

I have a question regarding clarifications on what does and doesn't constitute "price fixing" (in the US), and, while I read the FTC definitions, there're some areas I wanted to ask about.

Unfortunately, the FTC has pages to report fraud and so on, but, after the better part of an hour, it doesn't seem like the forms they have allow me to just ask them a question.

When I came here, I noticed there was no legal.codidact.com or law.codidact.com, or anything equivalent.

Out of the currently available sites, which one, if any, would be the best one to post legal questions? If the answer is "None", then does that mean that a sub-domain to ask these kinds of questions would be a good idea?

None of the existing communities appear to have any overlap with general legal questions.

In the Site Proposals section there have been a couple of law related proposals:

Law (and legal advice) was proposed on 2021-03-09 and was declined (due to the legal advice aspect).

Law (NOT legal advice) was proposed on 2021-07-02 and had very little support and only downvotes. I don't know if this is an accurate reflection of the demand for a law community because there was also objection to the way the post was written.

Maybe this Meta discussion will help clarify whether there is demand. There is also guidance on creating a proposal.
