1. Define the geographic boundary before publishing
Candler-McAfee is a census-designated place in DeKalb County, Georgia. That does not make Candler-McAfee, DeKalb County, a judicial circuit, a court class or the Atlanta metropolitan area interchangeable. Legal News should therefore be assessed against the firm’s real service boundary and the places its attorneys are prepared to serve. A page about a Georgia legal development may be useful to someone in Candler-McAfee, but a county-specific or court-specific reference should be used only when it accurately describes the underlying event and the firm’s scope.
Recommended approach
Prepare a geographic rule for review: when a story warrants a Candler-McAfee reference, when DeKalb County is the accurate relationship, and when the page should use Georgia without implying a narrower local connection. Review each proposed page for geographic precision before approval.
