Editorial standards

Corrections policy.

If something on this site is wrong, we want to fix it. This page explains how to flag an error, how we evaluate it, and where we log the change.

How to submit a correction

Email editor@ailawsuittracker.com with:

The URL of the page you’re flagging.
The specific line or sentence you believe is incorrect.
The source we should rely on instead — a docket entry, court order, official filing, or other primary document.
Your relationship to the matter if any (party, counsel, journalist, public reader). This helps us prioritize but is not required.

We acknowledge correction emails within one business day. Material errors are typically fixed the same day.

How we classify changes

Not every change is a “correction.” We use four categories so readers can tell the difference between a typo, an updated docket, and a substantive editorial change.

Correction. A material factual error in something we asserted as fact — a wrong date, wrong court, wrong holding, wrong dollar figure. Logged publicly with the original wording, the corrected wording, and the date.
Clarification. The original wording was technically accurate but could mislead a careful reader. We update the language and note the change.
Update. The underlying facts changed — new ruling, new filing, settlement reached. Not a correction; the page is simply current as of its updated date.
Editorial revision. Style, formatting, or non-material rewording. Not separately logged.

How we mark corrections on the page

When we correct a material error, we leave the original assertion visible and append a dated correction note rather than silently overwriting. The pattern is:

Correction (Apr 30, 2026): An earlier version of this page reported the docket as 1:25-cv-09850. The correct docket is 1:25-cv-10106. We have updated the page and regret the error.

For corrections that affect a headline figure (case count, defendant count, settlement total), we also note the change in the next weekly newsletter.

Right of reply

Named parties, their counsel, and other directly involved persons may submit a written response to anything we publish about a case in which they are involved. We will, at our editorial discretion:

Append a clearly attributed reply to the relevant case page; or
Update the page with corrected facts when the response identifies an error; or
Decline to publish if the response is itself defamatory, materially inaccurate, or unrelated to the matter we covered.

Send replies to editor@ailawsuittracker.com with the subject line “Right of reply.” We acknowledge within one business day and aim to publish or respond within five business days.

What we will not do

Remove accurately reported public-record information. Court captions, docket numbers, judge names, and other primary-record facts are not subject to takedown.
Silently delete or rewrite. Material corrections are visible. We do not pretend the earlier version did not exist.
Accept payment to alter coverage. Corrections are evaluated on facts and sources, not the requester’s identity or willingness to pay.
Negotiate the existence of a case. If a complaint is on a public docket, it is in scope for our database.

Methodology — how we source, verify, and count cases.
Coverage scope — what we cover, what we don’t.
DMCA notice — copyright takedown procedure and registered agent.
Terms — formal notice address and editorial-content disclaimers.
