PUBLISHING POLICIES:
1) All legal notices must be pre-paid unless approved by publisher.
2) Publisher has the right to decline to publish any material.
3) Price deviations in exceptional circumstances regarding individual notices are at the discretion of WCBA
administrative staff in consultation with the legal journal editor and the chair of the WCBA Finance and
Administration Committee or the chair of the Finance and Administration subcommittee designated to oversee
operations of the legal journal.
4) Placement and categorization of items submitted for publication: A.) Items which may have legal ramifications,
such as those having publication deadlines, or which may be required to be published by law, statute, rule or
Court Order, are considered a “legal notice”, which must be paid in advance by the advertising party, and for
which advertiser will receive an Affidavit; B.) Items of general information or relevance to the profession or
Bar Association that are not required to be published may be inserted in the format selected by, and at the sole
discretion of, the Publisher, which may include mention in the “Obiter Dictum” column, including
informational notices having no direct legal consequences. These notices will generally be published at no
charge and located at the beginning of the Obiter Dictum column but may be published as a paid display ad if
advertiser chooses to do so. C.) Communications from the Court pertaining to the profession generally, as
opposed to required publication notices, may be published at the discretion of Publisher as a “Notice to the
Profession”, which will generally be deemed to be a public service at no charge.
