Editorial Team - Statuteworks

Our editorial team is made up of researchers, editors, citation reviewers, and procedural-content specialists. We are not lawyers, and Statuteworks is not a law firm. Our job is to explain legal procedures clearly using official sources, not to give legal advice about any reader’s individual situation. Every article we publish is researched, reviewed, cited, and updated with that boundary in mind.

Pat Davis

Editorial Director

Sets the editorial standards for how Statuteworks researches, writes, reviews, and updates every article.

Rachel Monroe

Senior Legal Procedure Researcher

Traces every article back to the official statute, rule, or form that controls the procedure.

Marcus Ellison

Citation Verification Editor

Verifies every citation against its source before publication and maintains citation health afterwards.

Dana Whitaker

Plain-Language Procedure Editor

Turns dense procedural research into clear, readable explanations for people who aren’t lawyers.

Priya Nair

State-by-State Content Systems Editor

Keeps state-specific procedures consistently structured across jurisdictions without flattening local detail.

Thomas Keene

Forms, Fees & Filing Process Editor

Tracks forms, fees, filing steps, and the practical details that change between updates.

Elena Brooks

Updates & Corrections Editor

Manages re-reviews and reader corrections so accuracy doesn’t end at the publish button.

How we research

The team works from official primary sources — state statutes, court rules, agency guidance, court self-help materials, and government-published forms. Every citation in every article is checked against its source before publication and re-verified on a recurring schedule. Detailed methodology is on the Editorial Process page.
