We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.
Note that what you find here is written and moderated by anonymous people on the internet.
Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.
In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.
Our full terms and conditions apply too.
Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
1. Always do your activism outside your home state. If you want to do it in your state, find an activist friend from another state to file the requisite applications. This will prevent you from being identified directly.
2. This is important. Go to your post office and open a PO Box. It is usually a nominal rental of like 250 a month or something. You can use this address as an address for correspondence for your RTI Applications. You may consider opening more than one and switching addresses while filing applications.
3. Lastly, if you're doing activism, never agree to come and collect the reply in person. You can always demand they send it by post. It will take a few days but you will get it by post.
4. Use a new email address for correspondence and e-RTI applications. Open this up preferably in a foreign based location using a VPN.
Some safety tips.
