1. Transparent Correction Standards
Accuracy is the cornerstone of legal information. If a factual, statutory, or typographical error occurs in any guide published on SueLegal, we take immediate responsibility to investigate, correct, and document the change.
We never silently edit substantive legal errors or manipulate timestamps to simulate artificial freshness.
2. Distinction Between Updates and Corrections
| Change Type | Definition | Editorial Action |
|---|---|---|
| Substantive Correction | Correction of an inaccurate statutory citation, incorrect case holding, or erroneous legal deadline. | A prominent correction notice is appended to the article stating the date of correction and exactly what was revised. |
| Periodic Statutory Update | Updating a guide following a legislative amendment, newly enacted city ordinance, or new appellate court precedent. | The "Last Updated" timestamp is updated and a summary bullet is included under the "What Changed" revision log. |
| Minor Stylistic Refinement | Correcting a typographical error, formatting adjustment, or broken link. | Corrected immediately without modifying the substantive legal review timestamp. |
3. How to Submit a Correction Request
We welcome scrutiny from legal scholars, housing advocates, practicing attorneys, tenants, and property managers. If you identify a statute that has been modified, a superseded judicial ruling, or an ambiguous procedural description, please notify our editorial staff.
Please email our editorial team directly at editorial@suelegal.com with the subject line Correction Request: [Article Title]. Please include the specific URL, the exact sentence in question, and the authoritative primary source (statute section or case citation) supporting the suggested revision.
