Corrections

When we get something wrong, we say so, fix it and explain what changed.

Last updated October 1, 2026

How to report an error

Email corrections@bench-watch.org with the link to the story and what you believe is wrong. An editor reviews every request, usually within one business day.

Our policy

  • Corrections fix factual errors. We never change a fact silently. A dated note at the end of the story says what was wrong and what is right.
  • Clarifications add context when a story was accurate but could mislead.
  • Updates add new developments, such as a ruling or a response we received after publication.
  • A correction gets the same prominence as the error. If the error was in a headline, newsletter or social post, we correct it there too.
  • We fix spelling, grammar and formatting without a note when the fix doesn't change the meaning.

We do not delete stories to hide errors. We handle requests to remove or anonymize a story under our unpublishing policy.
