Frequently Asked Questions
Why did you create LegalFlip.com?

In three words, our goal is simplifying legal matters. Let's face it, the world we live in is fairly complicated. In order to be successful in life, you must understand how to navigate the rules. The rules, i.e. the law, provide you with the foundation for how society works. So, the better you understand the law the more likely you'll make better decisions to positively influence your life and those around you.

In short, we studied and saw how legal information was being presented on the Internet and said we can do better. We noticed many different problems with how legal information is currently being presented on the Internet. For example, many legal websites speak in legaleze, i.e. lawyer-talk, do a poor job in explaining basic legal concepts, or are created with the main focus of selling a service or product.

Here, at LegalFlip.com, our number #1 priority is legal education. We created LegalFlip.com to flip the way law is taught and learned. We aim to educate you through a more interactive, graphic-friendly, and engaging learning environment. Learning should involve some aspect of fun, and we aim to do this at LegalFlip.com.

What is the mission of LegalFlip.com?

Our mission is to be the Internet's premier FREE legal educational service provider. Why? Because the law is often confusing and even contradictory at times. As such, many people naturally have a difficult time in understanding the law. And understanding the law is too important to allow this to happen.

At our core, we are educators. We want individuals to learn about the law to empower themselves. We want a more educated society because this benefits us all. LegalFlip.com aims to give you the tools to get where you want to go...and even further.

We aim to achieve our goals by creating the most user-friendly efficient learning legal website on the Internet. We understand this is a lofty goal – but we believe we're up to the challenge.
