Editorial responsibility
How a legal-content correction is handled
A material correction changes a statement about eligibility, procedure, agency authority, deadline, filing requirement, evidence, or risk. The responsible page must be corrected promptly and its visible update information and structured data must remain consistent.
- Preserve the reported URL, statement, source, and date so the issue can be reproduced.
- Check the controlling agency source and, where needed, obtain qualified legal review before rewriting.
- Correct the article, metadata, schema, related page references, and downloadable material together.
- Do not silently retain an attorney-review label after a material rewrite unless the reviewer approves the new version.

How to report an error
Email [email protected] with the page URL, the disputed statement, a concise explanation, and an official or primary source when available. Do not include private case records.
What receives priority
- Incorrect form editions, fees, filing locations, deadlines, or agency instructions.
- Statements that could cause a reader to misunderstand legal-help authorization or an urgent procedure.
- Broken or redirected official links that prevent verification.
- Material wording that overstates certainty or suggests a case-specific result.
Correction approach
The publisher checks the cited source and the context of the page. Supported errors are corrected in the affected content, and material policy pages show an updated date. Minor style changes may not receive a public note.
Limits
The corrections channel is for publication accuracy, not legal advice, case review, attorney complaints, or government case-status requests. Use the responsible licensing authority or agency for those matters.
