1. Define the geographic boundary before selecting stories
Milton is recorded as a municipality in Fulton County, Georgia. That relationship matters because a city, county, judicial circuit and court class are not interchangeable. A news page about an event in Milton should not casually describe it as a Fulton County court matter, and a Georgia-wide legal development should not be presented as though it were specific to Milton. Legal News can be evaluated against the firm’s intended geographic coverage: Milton, Fulton County, Georgia, or a combination that the attorney expressly approves.
Recommended approach
Create a geographic decision rule before reviewing topics. Do not expand a page’s geographic claim merely because the subject is legally relevant.
