Join an international community
The Smokeball community is a space for Smokeball users and legal practitioners from around the globe.
Login to the community to see a tailored experience
Like Smokeball, which is tailored to each jurisdiction and legal framework, our community is also tailored to suit different legal practitioners in the countries where they operate. This means that some discussions might relate to a part of Smokeball that isn’t available in your area, or has a different name.
Asking questions, starting conversations and topics
There are two types of topics in the community:
- Questions - for when you simply need an answer
- Conversations- for when you want to start an ongoing discussion
Both questions and conversations are a type of topic.
Ask a question or start a conversation by clicking the “start a topic” button on the top right of this window or the “ask a question” button that lives on most pages in the community.
There is no such thing as a silly question
Anyone is welcome to ask a question or start a conversation. All are welcome, no matter how complex or simple your topic might be.
Pay it forward
If you get a great answer to your question, or if you receive a thoughtful reply to your conversation then please consider spending a moment doing the same for someone else.
No wrong door
