If you can explain a legal concept without making the reader feel like they need a law degree to follow along, we want to hear from you.
Legal Shouts covers the questions people actually search for — what’s legal, what isn’t, what to do after an accident, how to vet an attorney, what a class action lawsuit actually means for the person reading about it. We’re opening that up to guest contributors who can write in the same spirit: clear, accurate, and useful to someone dealing with a real situation, not a law student prepping for an exam.
What We Publish
Our content lives across four core areas, and guest posts should fit naturally into one of them:
- Law — plain-language explainers on legal rights, obligations, and the kind of “is this actually illegal?” questions people search for constantly.
- Attorney — practical guidance on finding, vetting, and working with legal representation.
- Lawsuit — coverage of active cases, class actions, and legal disputes that affect everyday consumers.
- Finance — the financial side of legal situations: settlement structures, fees, consumer protections, and money questions that intersect with the law.
If your idea sits just outside those categories but is genuinely useful to someone navigating a legal or consumer issue, pitch it anyway. We’d rather hear the idea than have you self-reject.
What We Won’t Publish
We pass on anything that’s purely promotional, thinly disguised as an article, or built around ranking a law firm rather than helping a reader. We also don’t run content on illegal activity, adult subject matter, or anything that reads like it exists to game search rankings instead of answering a real question.
Guidelines Before You Submit
Write for the reader, not the algorithm. Good SEO structure matters — clear headings, a logical flow, a keyword used where it belongs — but it should never come at the expense of an article that actually reads well.
Get the law right. This is the one place we won’t compromise. If you’re citing a statute, a case, or a legal standard, it needs to be accurate and current. When something is genuinely unsettled or varies by state, say so rather than flattening it into a false certainty.
Write it yourself. We check submissions for AI-generated text and won’t publish content that reads like it was assembled rather than written. Research the topic, form your own explanation of it, and let that come through in the piece.
Keep it original. No republishing content that’s live elsewhere, and no close paraphrasing of another site’s article. If we can find it published somewhere else first, we’ll pass.
Length that matches the topic. Most of our pieces run 800–1,500 words — long enough to actually answer the question, short enough that nobody bounces halfway through.
One clean bio, not a link farm. You’re welcome to a short author bio with a link back to your site or professional profile. Links inside the body of the article itself should serve the reader — supporting a claim, pointing to a primary source — not your own promotional goals.
How to Submit
Send your draft, or a short pitch if you’d like feedback before writing the full piece, through our Contact Us page or you can direct email here: ghowpriyanka@gmail.com. Include a line or two about your background — you don’t need a law degree to write for us, but relevant experience or research chops help us gauge fit quickly.
We read everything that comes in. If a piece needs work before it’s publishable, we’ll usually tell you what and why rather than sending a flat no.
