Corrections Policy
How Lex Wire receives, verifies, and publishes corrections so legal professionals can trust what they read.
Corrections Philosophy
We publish for practicing lawyers, legal ops, and legal marketers. That audience needs jurisdiction, dates, and sources to be right. If an article could influence client work, compliance decisions, or AI model usage, we prioritize it.
What we correct first
- Misstated law, rule, or ethics guidance
- Outdated AI or platform instructions that could expose client data
- Wrong jurisdictional scope that looks nationwide
- Misidentified people, firms, or credentials
Types of Corrections
1. Factual corrections
- Case, statute, or rule citation was wrong
- Year or court was wrong
- Policy effective date was wrong
- AI/LLM feature description no longer matches the vendor
2. Clarifications
- Text could be read as general when it was state specific
- Article did not state assumptions about firm size or data governance
- Practice pointer needed a privilege disclaimer
3. Updates
- Rule or platform changed after we published
- An ABA or state bar issued new AI guidance
- We added a link to newer or primary authority

How Corrections Appear on the Site
Minor corrections
- Typos, punctuation, broken links
- Small factual fixes that do not change the conclusion
- We may add a short note at the bottom of the post
[Corrected November 6, 2025: The Texas proposal was published in October 2025, not September 2025.]
Significant corrections
- Correction notice added near the top
- We state what was wrong and what is now correct
- We date the correction
CORRECTION (November 9, 2025): An earlier version stated that the model policy applied to all law firm AI usage. It applies only to firm approved AI environments. Sections 3 and 4 have been updated accordingly.
Retractions
- Used when core analysis is no longer reliable
- We keep the URL live and show a retraction notice
Quality Controls to Reduce Corrections
We run legal content through editorial review, cited-source checks, and AI tool change monitoring. We also review AI visibility and governance content regularly, since vendors change terms and logging requirements.
- Multi level review for legal analysis
- Jurisdiction labeling when material
- Source links to primary or official materials when available
- Quarterly review of AI governance content
