Record provenance
For each document, record its title, issuing institution, jurisdiction, identifier, publication date and original URL. Keep an access date and distinguish the source document from commentary about it. A working link alone does not show that a claim is supported.
Test the claim
Locate the exact article or paragraph. Confirm that it supports the proposition in context, including qualifications and exceptions. Check document type, amendments and current status separately. Mark unresolved points explicitly instead of filling gaps with assumptions.
Review before publication
Have the legal analysis reviewed and preserve original case documents in their submitted language. Record the reviewer, decision and date. A machine-generated summary remains a draft until human approval. This worksheet supports research about Somalia and contains no advice on an individual matter.
