1. Choose a geographic brief that matches the firm’s actual practice
Brookline is in Hillsborough County, but a Brookline law firm may serve people whose legal questions arise elsewhere in New Hampshire. Those are different geographic relationships: the firm’s location, the reader’s location, the event’s location, and the court, agency, or law affected by the story. Bosseo’s public Legal News page describes monitoring for local and national legal-news sources for a state and matching stories to practice areas. That makes geographic scoping a decision to settle before publication, not something to infer from Brookline’s population.
Recommended approach
Define whether the firm wants coverage framed around Brookline, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, or a combination that reflects its accepted matters. Review each proposed story for the location of the event and the legal authority involved. Avoid implying that a statewide story is a Brookline event, or that a Brookline address establishes service throughout New Hampshire.
