In my experience, hypotheticals are an important part of legal scholarship.

Are they on topic here? Or does each question need to stem from a practical problem that the asker is having?

(I'll give my position as an answer that can be voted on separately from the question.)

  • Can you give an example of the kind of hypothetical you're talking about, then?

  • your question sounds like a hypothetical. Is it on topic I still think so.

The evolving custom seems to be that especially questions that might stem from a real-world personal legal problem need to be phrased hypothetically.
