At LegalLens, we uphold the highest standards of ethical journalism, driven by our commitment to truth, integrity, and fairness. These core values guide every aspect of our reporting, ensuring that our audience receives accurate, reliable, and trustworthy information.
Ethical Guidelines
Our commitment to ethics is not merely a declaration but a fundamental practice rooted in our founding. LegalLens was established in response to unethical practices within the legal system, particularly concerning breaches of the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) Code of Conduct. This experience shapes our stringent ethical guidelines, which focus on exposing unethical behaviour and promoting transparency and justice within the legal profession. We are dedicated to not only reporting the truth but also advocating for individuals who have been wronged by the legal system, especially litigants in person (LIPs).
Editorial Independence
We take immense pride in our editorial independence, ensuring that our journalism remains free from external influence. Our content is not dictated by sponsors, donors, or partners, as we maintain a strict separation between funding sources and editorial decisions. This independence is fundamental to our credibility and the trust our readers place in us. By avoiding conflicts of interest and maintaining a fiduciary duty to our audience, we uphold fairness and integrity in all our reporting.
Corrections Policy
Accuracy is paramount at LegalLens. Should we make an error, we act swiftly to correct it and publicly acknowledge the mistake. We encourage our readers to report any inaccuracies via our contact page, reflecting our dedication to transparency and accountability. Our corrections policy is an integral part of our broader commitment to supporting and empowering individuals navigating the legal system.
Transparency in Reporting
Transparency is a cornerstone of our reporting process. We rigorously verify all sources and are committed to presenting balanced perspectives on every issue. By being transparent about our sourcing and fact-checking methods, we build trust with our readers and reinforce the credibility of our work. This approach is essential to our mission to highlight unethical practices and hold those responsible to account, ensuring that our audience is well-informed and supported in their legal journeys.
