About RomeoAndJulietLaw.us
RomeoAndJulietLaw.us is an independent educational resource dedicated to making the complex landscape of U.S. age-of-consent and close-in-age statutes accessible to everyone. We believe that clear, free, well-researched legal information helps families, students, educators, and young adults make informed decisions.
Accuracy First
Statutory summaries should be checked against the linked official text, including its effective date.
Plain Language
We translate dense legal terminology into clear, neutral explanations that any reader can follow.
Built for Everyone
Created for parents, teens, educators, and young adults — not just lawyers or law students.
Educational Only
We are not a law firm. Always consult a licensed attorney in your state for advice on a specific situation.
Editorial Policy
Our standards focus on traceable sources, clear explanations, and accurate credit. An organization byline identifies the publisher. It does not establish that an attorney or an independent reviewer has checked a particular page.
Primary-source research
We cite state statutes, official legislature databases, U.S. Department of Justice publications, and reputable legal databases such as Cornell LII and NCSL.
Independent review
Independent legal review should be credited only when the reviewer, qualifications, scope, and date are documented.
Scheduled updates
A page shows an update date only when a substantive edit is documented. Readers should check for later statutory changes.
Clear scope
We publish educational information only. We do not provide legal advice, draft documents, or represent clients.
RomeoAndJulietLaw.us Editorial Desk
Independent educational publisher
RomeoAndJulietLaw.us publishes educational summaries of U.S. age-of-consent and close-in-age laws. This organization byline identifies the publisher; it does not represent an individual attorney or establish professional legal qualifications. Consult the cited statutes and a licensed attorney for a specific legal question.
Editorial standards
Review transparency
An editorial label is not evidence of independent legal review. Individual reviewer names, qualifications, and page-specific review dates are not currently documented here. Content update dates indicate edits, not attorney approval. A future review credit must identify the person who actually completed that review.
