Your professional home online.
A personal site for legal professionals — and a network of publishers writing about the law, sitting next to it. Publish writing that brings search traffic, AI citations, and direct leads. Read what others in the network are publishing from one feed. Yours to keep at a domain you own, no matter where your career takes you.
Profile, like LinkedIn
Photo, bio, credentials, experience, education, and social links all on one page that's yours. Visible to clients and search engines, without the ads, paywalls, or feed algorithms of a walled-garden profile.
Publishing, like Substack
Notes for short thoughts and link drops; long-form posts for the writing that ranks in Google, gets cited by AI answer engines, brings in direct leads, and grows your referral network.
A real legal network
Find and follow other publishers writing about the law. Their posts and notes flow into your feed — a single place to keep up with practitioners and commentators in your space, without the algorithm stuffing it with rage bait.
What's on your site
Profile header
Cover banner, photo, name, headline, bio, location, and a row of social links (LinkedIn, X, Bluesky, Mastodon, GitHub, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube). Substack-style layout on your own domain.
Credentials
Employment, education, bar admissions, memberships, certifications, awards, publications. Credentials issued by organizations that publish a public identity get a quiet "Check at olpn.org" link so anyone can independently verify them.
Publishing
A full editor, post pages with Article JSON-LD, per-post SEO overrides, RSS, sitemap, and one-click LinkedIn sharing. Posts are indexed by Google and cited by AI answer engines.
Portability
One-click export of your entire site as a ZIP: identity, credentials, posts as HTML, RSS, sitemap, and a static mirror. Move to any OLPN-aware host if you ever want to.
The verification layer under your credentials.
OLPN stands for the Open Legal Publishing Network. It's an open protocol that lets any legal organization (firms, bar associations, law schools, legal publishers) publish a public identity record confirming the credentials they've issued. When a credential on your site traces back to an issuer that's on OLPN, anyone can independently verify it.
The resolver at olpn.org does the verifying by fetching both the subject's identity and the issuer's identity, checking back-links in each direction. No central authority. No walled garden. Publish.law handles the setup so you don't have to touch any of it.
Already have a site you own?
OLPN is an open protocol. You can publish your own identity file at any domain you control (how). Publish.law is for legal professionals who want the whole site handled — and the network on top — with no technical work at all.
