Corrections policy

Our corrections policy is simple. If you think a page is wrong, tell us. First, send the page address. Next, send the primary source that shows the error, such as the rule, statute or decision.

Then we check the report against the official text. If the page is wrong, we fix it and update its review date. In addition, we correct the same point anywhere else it appears on the site.

We take every report seriously. However, we change a page only when the source supports the change.

You can find most federal sources on the federal judiciary website or in the United States Code. For state law, our state procedures guide links to each state’s official rules.

When a correction changes the meaning of a page, we also review the pages that link to it. As a result, one fix does not leave an old version of the same point somewhere else.

Reports about other people, such as a review in the directory, follow a separate process. In that case, use the report link on the review itself, and our moderators will look at it.
