Contact

Delaware Legal Authority operates as a reference resource covering the structure, regulatory framework, and professional landscape of the Delaware legal system — spanning court hierarchies, corporate law, criminal procedure, civil practice, and bar admission standards. This contact section addresses how to reach the editorial and administrative team, what information to include for an efficient response, and what response timelines apply to different inquiry categories. Inquiries are categorized by type to route accurately across content, legal research, and site administration functions.

Service area covered

Delaware Legal Authority covers Delaware state law and the federal legal infrastructure operating within Delaware's jurisdiction. The substantive scope includes the Delaware court system, the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Delaware LLC Act, criminal law and procedure, civil procedure rules, bar admission requirements, and legal aid resources, among other topic areas indexed on this site.

Geographic coverage is limited to Delaware — New Castle County, Kent County, and Sussex County — along with federal jurisdiction matters arising under the United States District Court for the District of Delaware and the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. Inquiries about legal matters arising in other states fall outside this site's editorial scope.

The reference framework draws on named public sources: the Delaware Code, the Delaware Judiciary's administrative records, the Delaware State Bar Association, and the Delaware Department of Justice. Content corrections referencing any of these authoritative sources receive priority review.

What to include in your message

To ensure accurate routing and a complete response, messages should include the following structured information:

1. Inquiry type — Select from: content correction, factual inaccuracy report, citation request, editorial suggestion, accessibility issue, licensing or reuse request, or general administrative matter.
2. Page or topic reference — Identify the specific page by its title or URL path (e.g., /delaware-court-of-chancery or /delaware-expungement-law). Vague references to "a page about courts" delay routing by an average of 2 additional handling steps.
3. Source citation (for corrections) — If reporting a factual error, include the named public source that contradicts the published content. Acceptable sources include the Delaware Code by title and section, published Delaware Supreme Court rules, Delaware Judiciary administrative orders, or federal statutes applicable to Delaware jurisdiction.
4. Specific passage — Quote the exact sentence or paragraph in question rather than describing it generally.
5. Contact address — A valid reply email is required for all non-anonymous submissions. Submissions without a return address are logged but cannot receive responses.

Comparison — correction vs. editorial suggestion:
A correction identifies verifiably false or outdated content and supplies a named source as the basis for the change. An editorial suggestion proposes new coverage, structural reorganization, or additional topic depth without an underlying factual error. These two inquiry types follow separate review workflows: corrections are assessed against the cited public source within the standard review window, while editorial suggestions are queued for periodic content planning review and carry no guaranteed response timeline.

Response expectations

Response timelines vary by inquiry category:

• Factual corrections with source citation: acknowledged within 5 business days; editorial review completed within 15 business days of acknowledgment.
• Citation or source requests: responded to within 10 business days where the requested source is publicly available through Delaware state repositories or federal court records.
• Accessibility issues: escalated to site technical review within 3 business days under compliance considerations applicable to public-access web properties.
• Licensing and content reuse requests: assessed under standard editorial policy; initial response within 10 business days.
• Editorial suggestions and general inquiries: reviewed on a rolling basis; no guaranteed response window.

Messages submitted without the structured information outlined above — particularly missing page references or absent source citations for claimed corrections — will result in a request for clarification before substantive review begins, which extends total resolution time.

The editorial team does not provide legal advice, legal interpretations, attorney referrals, or case-specific guidance. Individuals seeking legal assistance in Delaware are directed to the Delaware Legal Aid Society, the Delaware State Bar Association Lawyer Referral Service, or the Delaware Courts self-help resources for pro se representation matters.

Additional contact options

For matters requiring public record requests related to Delaware court proceedings, the appropriate body is the Delaware Judiciary's Office of the Courts. For attorney discipline matters, contact the Delaware Office of Disciplinary Counsel directly — that office operates independently from this reference site and handles all formal complaints under Delaware Lawyers' Rules of Professional Conduct. For bar admission inquiries, the Delaware Board of Bar Examiners administers applications under Delaware Supreme Court Rules governing admission — as covered in the bar admission requirements reference section.

Content reuse requests referencing specific Delaware Code sections should verify the current codification through the Delaware Code Online portal maintained by the Delaware General Assembly's Division of Research. Section numbering for Title 8 (Corporations), Title 6 (Commerce and Trade, covering the LLC Act), and Title 11 (Crimes and Criminal Procedure) is subject to amendment through each legislative session of the Delaware General Assembly, which convenes in 2-year terms under Article II of the Delaware Constitution.
