Really? I’m not aware of anything built into browsers that restricts them to a 
fixed set of “official” TLDs. As far as I know, the client simply hands off 
_any_ hostname for DNS lookup, which will query the configured DNS server(s).

Are you 100% sure that the DNS is configured correctly? For example, the name 
server (or some parent of it) needs to have a custom entry for “.law”, 
otherwise it will end up querying upstream for it, and the upstream (ISP) name 
servers won’t know about that TLD.

Also, are you 100% sure that the iOS device is configured to access the DNS 
server that knows about your custom domain? It’s probably getting the name 
server IP addresses via DHCP.
