Corrections policy

Our approach to corrections

Accuracy matters especially here: this site discusses laws that can affect how readers understand serious legal issues. When something is wrong, it should be fixed.

What may require a correction

Examples include:

• An incorrect statute citation
• A law that has changed and is now outdated
• An incorrect age threshold or age-gap rule
• An inaccurate description of a defense or exemption
• A broken or incorrect source link
• A material factual error
• Wording that could materially misrepresent the law

How issues are reviewed

A reported issue is checked against authoritative sources, prioritizing official statutes and legislatures, courts and official legal materials, government sources, and reliable secondary sources where needed. This mirrors the source hierarchy described in our editorial policy, sources and methodology, and citation policy pages.

How corrections are made

Confirmed material errors may be corrected in the relevant page. We do not guarantee a specific response time or correction deadline, do not claim attorney review of corrections, and do not currently maintain a public correction log.

Legal changes vs. errors

A law changing after a page was published is different from that page being factually wrong when it was written. In either case, content may be updated when reliable new legal information is identified.

Reporting an issue

A functioning direct contact method is not currently available on this site. See the contact page for the current status of how issues can be reported.

Transparency

Where legal authorities genuinely conflict, or an issue cannot be conclusively resolved, that uncertainty may be disclosed on the relevant page rather than hidden.
