to solicit the advice of peers, benefit from their experience, and participate
in ongoing conversations about relevant legal issues. To ensure the best
possible experience for all members, we have established these guidelines (the
“Guidelines”) for participation in the NABL Connect forum.

NABL Connect Violation Policy
These Guidelines are intended to give members a general
idea of the conduct members should follow when using NABL Connect. In order to
preserve a climate that encourages both civil and fruitful dialogue, NABL
reserves the right, without cause, to remove content or suspend, or terminate a
member’s participation in any or all NABL Connect communities.
Taking action against a member, particularly in regard to
removing an account, is something NABL would like to avoid, but which may be
necessary to protect the quality of service NABL strives to provide to its
members. This restriction is not intended to limit in any way the professional
networking and educational advantages of NABL Connect.
When
unsure whether content is consistent with these policies, please err on the
side of caution and do not post the content. If there are any questions on what
content is appropriate to post in any NABL Connect community please contact
NABL staff or the moderator of the specific NABL Connect community.
