Editorial standards

Primary sources first

Legal and safety claims should be grounded in statutes, regulations, courts, government agencies, official forms, and public-health authorities. Law-firm articles may suggest research questions but are not treated as controlling authority.

Attorney review

Detailed legal guides cannot publish without a named qualified attorney reviewer, a public credential or bar-profile link, and a legal-review date. Unreviewed work remains a draft.

Jurisdiction and dates

Pages must clearly identify the state or locality they cover. Material legal changes trigger a new review; dates are not changed merely to make old content appear fresh.

AI and automation

Automation may support outlining, consistency checks, and research organization. It does not replace source verification, editorial judgment, or legal review.

Commercial separation

Advertising cannot determine the conclusions of an article. Sponsored profiles and modules are visually separated and explicitly labeled.

Corrections

Material corrections are made promptly and recorded when they change a reader’s understanding. Contact us with a source and the page URL.
