Corrections Policy

Law Leaderboard is intended to be auditable. If a factual error appears on the site, it should be corrected clearly and without rewriting history in a way that hides what changed.

What Qualifies For Correction

  • Wrong office identity, merged offices, or duplicate-entity errors.
  • Wrong public business information such as address, phone, website, or category.
  • Incorrect tracked, retrieved, or analyzed counts.
  • Incorrect legal citations or materially inaccurate legal summaries.
  • Broken links, stale timestamps, or missing provenance blocks on pages that require them.

How Corrections Are Handled

Corrections should be reviewed against source documents and the underlying dataset. If the issue is confirmed, the page should be updated in the next publish cycle and the corrected data should flow through the export pipeline rather than being patched only in the rendered page.

Entity-resolution issues should be fixed at the structured-data layer first. Legal-source issues should be fixed at the citation layer first. Surface copy should be updated only after the underlying fact pattern is corrected.

Historical Snapshots

Because the site is based on recurring snapshots, a page can become outdated without being wrong at the time of publication. The preferred fix is to refresh the underlying data and update the visible freshness markers rather than silently rewriting old claims without acknowledging the page’s timing context.

Submit a Correction Request

Include the exact Law Leaderboard URL, the detail you believe is wrong, and a public source that supports the change. Submitting this form opens a structured email in your mail application; the site does not collect the form data itself.

Requests are checked against public source material before the structured dataset and rendered page are updated.
