The source matters as much as the answer.

• Primary law: legislation, regulations and official court or tribunal material.
• Official authorities: government departments, regulators, court self-help services and official guidance.
• Recognised legal databases or secondary sources only when they add necessary context and a stronger primary source is not available.
• Unverified blogs, forums and generic commercial summaries are not treated as equivalent to official law.

A source can be authoritative and still be irrelevant if it belongs to the wrong country, state or legal system. JEZ AI therefore uses the jurisdiction supplied by the user to narrow the research context.

For example, a California consumer page should be grounded in California and relevant federal sources rather than generic US material copied across every state.

The platform classifies sources so users can distinguish primary or official material from secondary or unverified references. A source link is intended to let the user inspect the authority directly rather than rely solely on an AI summary.

GetInstantLaw.com distinguishes primary law or court material, official authorities or regulators, recognised secondary references and unverified references. These labels describe the type and provenance of the cited source; they do not mean that every legal proposition on a page has been independently reviewed by a lawyer.

Where a curated topic set contains only guidance material and no primary-law, court, tribunal or regulator anchor, JEZ AI is instructed to verify a stronger official source before making a firm claim about rights, duties, deadlines, penalties or remedies.

Law, agency guidance, forms and procedures change. Pages with specific legal rules should identify authoritative sources and be updated when material changes are found. Users should still open the cited source before acting on a deadline, filing rule or other important point.

A page-level Last updated date describes the review or publication state of that GetInstantLaw page. It is not a promise that every linked authority changed, was republished or was independently re-checked on that same date. Where a source has its own relevant date, version or transition rule, that source-level timing should be shown with the material it supports.

Important dates, filing rules and legal consequences should be treated as jurisdiction-specific and time-sensitive. If the supporting authority cannot be confirmed, the safer approach is to qualify or withhold the statement rather than guess.
