Idaho Legal Aid Services (ILAS) publishes legal information to help low-income Idahoans understand their rights, navigate the legal system, and make informed decisions. Our goal is to improve access by making reliable legal resources available to everyone - regardless of their income or background.
This page explains how our content is created and the editorial process we follow. If you have a question about this policy, or believe content on this site needs attention, please contact us here.
Our Legal Information Process
Who Creates Our Content
All of the legal content that you find on this site has been thoroughly reviewed by qualified legal professionals. Before a resource is uploaded, it is reviewed by at least one additional attorney to verify its legal accuracy, completeness, and clarity. This process helps ensure materials meet the high standard our clients deserve.
Our Commitment to Accuracy and Clarity
We hold ourselves to rigorous editorial standards. Every guide and resource we publish is grounded in current Idaho statutes, administrative rules, and relevant case law.
But we also believe that this type of information is only useful if people can understand it. That's precisely why we attempt to write using plain, everyday language that helps break down complex legal concepts. In turn, this provides actionable guidance without sacrificing accuracy.
Keeping Our Information Current
We recognize that the law can change, which means our content must keep pace. Materials that have originated through our organization are reviewed annually. Resources linked from external entities are also updated whenever relevant changes have occurred.
Each review is conducted by an individual that has subject-matter expertise in the relevant area of law. And content is marked with an updated date so readers can see when it was last revised.
Our Legal Information Disclaimer
Can be found in different areas of the site. But it's important to restate it here as well. The information provided by ILAS is intended as general legal information, not legal advice. While we strive to ensure accuracy and timeliness, laws are complex and can change often.
That means the information on this site may not reflect the most recent legal developments happening in and around Idaho. And it shouldn't be used as a substitute for consulting with a qualified attorney about your specific situation.
Reading or relying on information from this website does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and ILAS. If you need legal advice, we encourage you to contact us to find out if you qualify for services; or to seek assistance from another qualified attorney.
