industry. Users are required to abide by the site's posting
guidelines as defined in the Terms
of Use and are encouraged to provide honest feedback,
including constructive criticism where warranted, written in a
professional style and demeanor. Public reviews written in violation
of the terms and spirit of the posting guidelines may be flagged by
site users and removed from the site at the Company's
discretion.

Why does Courtroom Insight authenticate attorney and judge users?
