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?

Previous attempts at proposing a law community (1 comment)

There is currently no general law community. However, domain specific questions might be able to be asked on their respective communities. (e.g. perhaps food safety regulations on Cooking) This however would need to be asked individually on each community for them to decide whether it would be on-topic. As far as I'm aware, none of them have discussed this yet, so it's an open question.

A general law community has been suggested before and pretty thoroughly rejected.

It has been a while though, and the original proposal was not exactly well formed, so you may have a shot at creating a newer proposal.

I would say that the votes on the previous law community proposal you linked to was due to how very poorly it was written, not against the idea (such as it could be determined from the proposal). I was one of the downvoters, and that was my reason. I could support a well defined law community proposal.
