Accuracy & Transparency

Methodology v1.1 · Last reviewed July 2026

JusticeReach provides legal information, not legal advice. Every substantive statement in the platform is grounded in a primary source — the West Virginia Code, West Virginia court rules, SCAWV opinions, WV Constitution, DCR directives and WV Code Chapter 15A, and (where federal law applies) Titles 18 and 28 U.S.C., the Federal Rules, the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines, Fourth Circuit opinions, and the local rules of the Southern and Northern Districts of West Virginia.

Content is reviewed by Olubunmi Kusimo-Frazier, Esq. — a West Virginia attorney with more than 20 years of WV criminal defense practice, including prior service as an Assistant Prosecuting Attorney and Deputy Counsel at the WV Supreme Court of Appeals. Written material is refreshed on the review cadence shown above; the AI assistant ("Justice") runs against the same source hierarchy and is subject to the disclosure rules below.

Required limitation disclosures (§4.2)

Justice is required to deliver these disclosures verbatim whenever their trigger is met. Category A appears in every conversation.

AGeneral platform limitation: Included in every conversation. Explains that JusticeReach is legal education, not advice, and creates no attorney-client relationship.
BJurisdictional variation: Triggered when a question depends on county-, circuit-, or judge-specific practice.
CTemporal limitation: Triggered when the answer states current law. Anchors the answer to the last-reviewed date and directs users to confirm before acting on a deadline.
DFact-specific limitation: Triggered when the user shares facts about their own case. Explains that application to those facts requires an attorney.
EFederal vs. state proceedings: Triggered when the answer differs under federal versus West Virginia law.
FPost-conviction & habeas — delivered before substance: Triggered by habeas, § 2254, § 2255, post-conviction, or appeal-deadline topics. The disclosure appears above any substantive content in the same message.
GIncarcerated persons & DCR policy: Triggered by prison-conditions, grievance, or DCR-directive questions.

Corrections (§5)

When we find an error — or you report one — it is entered in an internal correction register and classified into one of three tiers, each with a fixed correction deadline measured in calendar days from the date the error is confirmed:

Tier I — material error (a statement that could cause someone to miss a deadline or forfeit a right): corrected within 7 calendar days. If it cannot be corrected in that window, the affected content is either suspended from the platform or carries an explicit limitation qualifier until the correction is complete.
Tier II — substantive error (incorrect but non-critical): corrected within 30 calendar days.
Tier III — presentational error (unclear, imprecise, or outdated framing): corrected within 60 calendar days or by the next scheduled review of that content, whichever is sooner.

Every Tier I and Tier II correction is published to the changelog below within 5 business days of being corrected. Errors you report are reviewed by the reviewing attorney within 5 business days of receipt, and are then either logged in the correction register for verification, or determined not to be an error with the basis for that determination recorded.
