Editorial Policy
Every page on RomeoAndJulietLaw.us is produced under written editorial standards. This page documents how we research, write, review, and update legal information.
Sourcing
We rely first on primary sources — official state code, U.S. statutes, and federal/state appellate opinions. Secondary sources (Cornell LII, ABA, DOJ, RAINN, NCSL) are used for context and cross-verification only.
Author and reviewer separation
Our Legal Research Team writes content. A separate Editorial Review Team verifies it against primary sources before publication.
Update cadence
State pages are reviewed at least quarterly. Pages affected by legislative sessions are reviewed within 30 days of session adjournment.
Independence
We are not a law firm and do not accept compensation for editorial recommendations. Display advertising is clearly labeled and never influences content.
Plain-language commitment
We write at an 8th-grade reading level wherever the law allows. Where legal precision requires technical terminology, we define it in our glossary.
