Editorial Policy

How we research

Every article on Statuteworks is built from primary sources: state and federal statutes, court rules of procedure, official court forms, agency regulations, and the websites of the courts and agencies themselves. Where secondary sources are useful for context — a state bar publication, a court self-help guide — we cite them by name.

How we update content

Procedural law changes. Court fees rise, deadlines shift, forms are revised. Every article on Statuteworks goes through a quarterly review cycle, and the date of last review is shown on every guide.

How we handle errors

If you find an error, email [email protected]. We review every correction request, fix verified errors promptly, and add a correction note to the article.

Reviewer credentials

Articles touching on jurisdiction-specific procedure are reviewed by paralegals or attorneys licensed in the relevant state where possible. Reviewer name and credentials appear at the foot of every reviewed article.

What we don\’t do

We do not give legal advice. We do not represent clients. We do not accept payment to feature any particular law firm, lawyer, or legal-services provider in our editorial content.
