How a judgment reaches the library

Lawyers, not scrapers, prepare every report. That is why you can cite from it with confidence.

    Judgments arrive from court registries and partner chambers, usually within days of delivery.

  2. Verified

    Editors check the text against the certified copy, confirm the panel and record counsel.

  3. Headnoted

    A qualified lawyer writes the headnote and the brief, then a second editor reviews it.

  4. Linked

    Every authority the court cites is linked, and Good Law Check records the effect on earlier rulings.
