An effort is made to identify your expertise. My problem is that I'm not
particularly interested in writing articles on divorce law, and also,
although I have a Juris Doctor degree, that is not an actual professional
level degree from a legal perspective, there are higher professional
studies. Only a few words are required. A rather low test of your
patience.
