How quickly are corrections made?

Publishing is immediate — a corrected page refreshes on the live site within seconds of the change, with a time-based refresh as a backstop. The time it takes is the time to verify the report against the official source, which is deliberately not skipped: a correction that is itself unverified would replace one wrong figure with another.

What if a court rule or state statute has changed?

That is the most useful report to send. A change to published law is corrected at the record with a new effective window, so both the old and new versions are held and the right one is selected by filing date. Every page using that figure updates at the same time, and the citation displayed alongside it updates with it.

Do you publish a record of corrections?

Corrections to legal figures are recorded internally with the proposal, the approver and the date, and superseded versions are retained rather than deleted. Pages display the date their sources were last verified, which moves when a figure behind them changes.

Who do I contact about something other than an error?

The same address, antonio@bankruptcy.law, reaches the site's editor for anything about the content, including questions about how something was sourced. Requests about a law firm listing or the attorney directory are covered on the disclosures page.

Corrections Policy

If something on Bankruptcy.law is wrong, email antonio@bankruptcy.law with the page address and what looks incorrect. Content is stored as data rather than compiled into the site, so a correction publishes to the live page within seconds of being made. Where the error is in a legal figure, the fix is made at the underlying record and reaches every page that used it.

Key points

Report errors to antonio@bankruptcy.law with the page URL and, where possible, the source you believe is correct.
Corrections publish immediately: pages are stored as data and refresh within seconds of a change, without waiting for a software release.
A wrong legal figure is corrected at its record, so every page carrying that figure is fixed at once rather than one at a time.
Superseded values are retained rather than deleted, so what a page said before a correction remains traceable.
A correction that rewrites a page clears its review status, so the new text is read before it is presented as reviewed.

A corrections policy is only meaningful if the correction can actually be made quickly. On many legal sites a wrong number is embedded in an article and fixing it means finding every article that repeated it, then waiting for a deployment. Here the number lives in one record with a citation, pages read from that record, and the live site refreshes on its own when it changes. This page explains how to report an error and what happens after you do.

How do I report an error?

Email antonio@bankruptcy.law. The most useful report includes the page address, the specific statement that looks wrong, and — if you have it — the official source that says otherwise. That last part matters more than it might seem: every figure on this site is stored with a citation, so a report that names a competing source can be checked directly against the authority rather than debated. Reports about a legal figure, a citation, a court assignment or a filing deadline are the highest priority, because those are the statements a reader may act on. Reports about clarity and phrasing are welcome too and are handled through the same address.

Include the page URL — the same figure often appears on several pages, and the record behind it is what gets corrected.
If a court's local rule or a state statute has changed, a link to the publishing authority's page is the fastest possible report.

What happens after a correction is made?

It reaches the live page almost immediately. Pages on this site are stored as data, not compiled into the deployed application, and a change to a page triggers the affected addresses to refresh within seconds. That includes the pages that quote a corrected figure, the section hubs that list them and the sitemap. There is no release to wait for, and no window in which the correction exists internally but the public page still shows the old text. Where the correction is to a legal figure rather than to wording, it is made at the record the figure lives in, which means every page that used that figure is corrected at the same moment.

A time-based refresh runs as a backstop so a page cannot stay stale if an automatic refresh is missed.
Corrections to figures move the sources-verified date shown on the page, so the change is visible to a reader.

What happens to the old version?

It is kept. Legal figures are versioned rather than overwritten: when a value is replaced, the outgoing version is marked superseded with its own effective window, and the proposal that introduced each version stays in the record along with its review history, including proposals that were sent back or rejected. This matters for a practical reason. A figure that was correct last year is not a mistake, and someone whose case was filed under the earlier version needs the earlier number. Keeping the history means a correction can be explained rather than silently applied.

Two versions of a rule with different effective dates coexist; the one that applies is selected by filing date.
A superseded figure is retained for provenance and is not served to readers as current law.

How are errors found before a reader finds them?

Three ways, running continuously. Every figure written into a page is recorded against the fact it came from, so when a published source changes, the pages carrying the old value can be listed directly instead of being hunted for. Registered sources carry their own re-check cadence and are compared against the stored copy, so a change at the authority becomes a review task rather than a surprise. And the automated gate that runs on every build re-reads the published pages, checking the register they are written in and confirming that figures still trace to real facts. None of that removes the value of a reader's report, which is often the fastest signal there is.

Figure provenance is what makes staleness a query rather than a manual audit.
Structured legal values are never edited directly in the database; a change goes through the same proposal and approval path as the original.
