Sources

Statements of law are based on primary sources: legislation and judgments. Each principle page links the leading judgments in the case index and lists its sources.
Where a page relies on a court practice note or a regulator’s publication, it links the official document.
Citations follow the Australian Guide to Legal Citation (AGLC4), with pinpoints to the page or paragraph where practical.

Review and updates

Every explanatory page shows the date it was last updated. Where a page has been reviewed by a named legal practitioner, their name is shown with that date.
Explanatory pages are reviewed again when the law they describe changes, for example when a practice note is replaced or a leading case is overruled.
The research database is not reviewed page by page. It covers far more decisions than any person could read, and it grows every week.

How we use AI

The research database. Headnotes, summaries, citations and principles on case and legislation pages are generated by AI from the judgments and legislation themselves. They are not individually checked by a person before they appear. Treat them as a research aid and read the judgment or provision before you rely on it.
Explanatory pages. We use AI tools when drafting some explanatory pages, such as the legal principle pages, guides and glossary. Their statements of law and citations are checked against primary sources before publication.

Comparisons with other products

Our comparison pages take every claim about another product from that vendor’s own public pages, or from published buyer guides where the vendor publishes nothing. Each claim links its source and shows the date it was checked. Where a competitor matches us, the comparison says so.

Not legal advice

Content on this site explains the law in general terms. It is not legal advice and does not take account of your circumstances. Practitioners should check the authorities themselves before relying on them.

Corrections

If you find an error, please tell us through the contact page or at admin@barristerai.com.au, with the page address and the correction. We read every report. Where we correct a statement of law or a citation on an explanatory page, we update the page and its review date.
