1. Local relevance should begin with jurisdiction, not just geography
Homestead’s recorded county relationship is Miami-Dade County. That distinction matters because a story can be physically near the firm yet legally irrelevant to its practice, or it can concern a Florida statute, appellate decision or agency action with implications beyond Homestead. Bosseo describes Legal News as matching stories to a firm’s practice areas and state. For your review, ask how the service would distinguish Homestead matters, Miami-Dade developments and statewide Florida changes. Do not treat the city’s population estimate as evidence that a particular topic will generate searches or clients.
Recommended approach
Define the jurisdictions and practice areas the attorney wants considered. Then review whether the proposed coverage boundaries are narrow enough to avoid irrelevant incidents and broad enough to include Florida developments that genuinely affect the firm’s clients.
