An ending that names the work, for practices where the work is the brand.

Live from the registry · confirmed at checkout.
Buying .law through Just Domain is not open yet. The price above is real and read live from our registrar; searching a name still returns the real answer. Why.
.law costs $159.98 to register with us and $142 to renew, at our registrar's own rate with nothing added. It is listed here at that live price but is not on sale through Just Domain yet. .law is a domain ending that names a profession or a field of work. It suits practices where what you do matters more than what you are called, and it is one of the categories most likely to come with registry rules about who may hold a name.
The ending is the part after the dot: the .law in example.law. Professional endings exist so a practice can be self-describing: the address states the discipline, which is often more useful to a stranger than the firm's name.
Some endings in this category are open to anyone. Others are restricted to people who can prove a qualification, a licence, or membership of a professional body, and the registry checks. That is a feature when you qualify - it makes the ending mean something - and a hard stop when you do not. What we know about this specific ending is in the requirements section below, and where we do not know, the page says so rather than guessing.
Every figure here is read from our registrar, not typed into this page, and is the total for one registration term rather than a per-year rate. A name can still carry premium pricing set by its registry - the amount shown at checkout is the one that applies.
Legal profession (.law). The registry restricts registration to registrants whose legal credentials the registry verifies, and enforces it. Just Domain does not collect or submit that declaration yet, so this ending is listed with its price but cannot be bought here.
What the registry wants on top of standard contact details: law_credential.
This is a read on one group of endings - professions, trades, and learning - rather than on .law alone. Endings that name a job or a field - precise, and sometimes credential-gated. The price, the registry term and the registrant requirements on this page are .law’s own, read live from our registrar.
An independent practice or firm. Your name plus the discipline is a complete introduction, on a card or in a search result.
Work found by category rather than by brand. People search for the service before they know who provides it; an address that names the service is doing that work.
A qualified professional, where the ending is gated. If the registry verifies credentials, holding the name is itself a small proof - which is worth more than a clever address.
A second address for one service line. A firm with several disciplines can give each one an address that says what it is.
Naming yourself after a profession you are not qualified to practise is a problem with a regulator, not a naming problem, and some registries in this category will refuse or cancel the registration. Check the requirements below before you build anything on the name.
The softer risk is narrowness. A practice that grows into adjacent work carries an address describing the part it started with. If you expect the scope to widen, a neutral address with the discipline in the page title tends to age better than the reverse.
Against the 49 endings we group under professions, trades, and learning, .law is the 2nd most expensive of them per year at $159.98 - the group runs from $3.99 to $199 a year. Our grouping, our registrar's live prices, compared per year so a multi-year term cannot flatter itself.

Some names carry premium pricing set by the registry, well above the standard rate for that extension. Just Domain doesn't register premium names - search will tell you when a name is one.
