About this site
Legal information, and its limits
Being straight with you about this is more useful than a disclaimer nobody reads.
Nothing on this site has been reviewed by a solicitor or barrister. It is general information written by campaigners, sourced to primary material so you can check it yourself. It is not advice about your situation, and relying on it is not a substitute for asking a qualified lawyer in your own country.
What we do instead of legal review
We can't offer you a lawyer's sign-off, so we do the next best thing and make the site's workings visible.
Every legal claim cites a source with a title and a publisher. Not a bare link, a source you can name out loud if a police officer or an HR manager asks where you got it. This is enforced by the site itself: a guide that describes law in a specific country cannot be published without at least one citation attached. The build fails.
Every page says which country it applies to, on the page and in search results. Protest law, employment law and hate crime law differ enormously between countries, and guidance that doesn't say where it applies is worse than useless.
Every page says when it was last checked, and tells you when it's overdue. Once a page passes its review date it displays a warning to that effect. We would rather show you an embarrassing notice than let you rely on something quietly rotting.
Where we don't have someone who knows a country's law, we say so and give you signposts to the organisations that do, rather than writing confident prose we can't stand behind.

If something here is wrong
Tell us and we will fix it, and say that we've fixed it. Corrections to legal content are a priority over everything else on this site. Get in touch via the contact page.
If you are in trouble right now
This site cannot help you with an urgent situation. If you have been arrested, are facing dismissal or disciplinary action, or have been threatened, contact a solicitor, your union if you have one, or a legal support organisation in your country. Do that before you rely on anything written here.
