Sources before conclusions
Prefer issuing institutions, courts and official legal repositories. Record jurisdiction, dates, document type and a durable URL. Source availability is checked separately from claim support, legal currency and translation quality.
Honest status labels
“Source inspected” means a primary document or stated official source was retrieved and the listed metadata checked. “Draft — legal review pending” means no qualified legal approval has been recorded. Material without established authority is labelled “Unverified — Requires Legal Review”. A hypothetical example has no real court judgment.
Preserve original case documents
Use English for the website interface and editorial content. Preserve submitted case titles, court names, legal references and judgment documents in their original language. A legal reviewer must check source meaning, jurisdiction and legal terminology. Retain the original source reference and record corrections. Do not attribute editorial drafts to ismaillaw until approved.
Future AI assistance
No AI assistant is active here. Future research tools must retrieve approved sources, cite supporting passages, distinguish jurisdictions and abstain when reliable support is missing. AI-written content must remain a draft until a human reviewer approves it.
