Editorial Standards & Methodology

Last reviewed: July 21, 2026

US Legal Brain publishes general legal information to help people in the United States understand their rights. Because legal information can affect a person’s money, housing, immigration status, or liberty, we treat accuracy as the core of our work. This page explains how our content is sourced, written, reviewed, and corrected.

1. We cite primary legal sources

Every factual claim about the law points to the primary authority — not a secondary summary. Our sources include:

On pages such as our 50-State Debt Collection Defense Guide, each state section ends with its source and authority links so you can verify the text against the primary authority yourself.

2. Citations are shown, not hidden

We surface citations inline rather than burying them. Where a statute, limitation period, or remedy is stated, the corresponding citation (e.g., 15 U.S.C. § 1692g or Ala. Code § 6-2-34) appears with the claim. We do not present legal conclusions without a traceable source.

3. How content is produced

Our content is AI-assisted and source-verified. Drafts are generated with AI assistance from structured statutory data, then checked against the cited primary sources before publication. We do not invent statutes, case names, or citations. Where a point is uncertain or varies by facts, we say so and point to the relevant authority.

4. Accuracy, updates & corrections

Laws change — legislatures amend statutes, and courts reinterpret them. Our practice:

5. Editorial responsibility & limits

US Legal Brain is an information service, not a law firm, and we do not provide legal advice or create an attorney–client relationship. General information cannot replace advice from a licensed attorney in your state, who can apply the law to your specific facts. Our Disclaimer and Terms of Service set out these limits in full.

6. Contact & corrections
