Review NYS Family Law Community Education Articles for Legal Accuracy

Your expertise will ensure that our plain language legal content is helpful AND accurate.

Posted May 22, 2023

Work & Deliverables

We need a NY family law expert to double-check our short, plain language, public-facing legal articles for accuracy. Our goal is to keep legal content at the ~ 6th grade reading level and give community members a basic understanding of law and process. Some of our materials guide people (who can't afford or find legal help) through self-help forms or filing. Our process: (1) we share 1-2 page draft article/s with you; (2) you review and make suggested edits; (3) we follow-up with any questions; (4) we publish the article to our website
