The American Bar Association (ABA) has introduced a legal fact-check website that will help explain the law on specific topics to the public. Called ABA Legal Fact Check, the site provides what the ABA says is nonpartisan and reliable information in answering specific questions, which will “separate legal fact from fiction.”

The site has so far focused on some topics involving current public controversies, such as the legality of hate speech. The ABA hopes the site will become an important resource for the public.

Hilarie Bass, the new ABA president and co-president of Greenberg Traurig, told Legaltech News that Legal Fact Check comes “in response to the amount of public discourse about legal topics. … There's so much inaccurate information out there.”
