Reviewer credential
CONFIRMEDEvery record published on Lex Machina Review is reviewed by a licensed attorney with a background in civil litigation and professional-responsibility practice before it goes live, and is re-checked against its primary source on an ongoing basis. The reviewer confirms that each case, obligation, and benchmark entry accurately reflects its cited court order, rule text, or study — not that any underlying tool, procedure, or ruling is correct or advisable for a reader’s specific matter.
Sourcing & methodology
Claims on this site are tied only to primary sources: actual court orders and docket entries, ABA Formal Opinions and state bar ethics opinions, EU AI Act text, and named independent benchmark studies. We do not present derived or unattributed statistics as if they were originally sourced, and we credit the databases and studies our own figures build on.
Cases are marked "confirmed" only once a court order or docket entry has been independently verified. Cases marked "reported" are still pending that verification. A case’s last_verified_at stamp is checked separately from its ruling date, because a ruling can remain accurate on the day it was decided while a later appeal, correction, or docket update changes its status.
Not legal advice
Lex Machina Review is an independent risk-tracking and reference resource. Nothing on this site is legal advice, and using it does not create an attorney-client relationship. Every record is reviewed against primary sources but may not reflect the most current status of a matter — always verify directly against the cited court order, rule text, or a licensed attorney before relying on it.
If you believe a record on this site misstates a fact, spotted an outdated status, or have a tip about a ruling we haven’t logged, use Corrections & Tips rather than relying on this page or any single record as legal guidance.
