How We Research & Source

Our content draws its authority from the public record. We summarize court filings, regulatory actions, and peer-reviewed research, cite what we report, and review every page against its primary sources.

Our approach

Authority From the Public Record

People's Justice publishes research-backed information about active lawsuits and the products, drugs, and conduct at their center. We are an editorial and attorney-matching platform, not a law firm, and the trustworthiness of our content rests on a simple principle: every significant claim should trace back to a primary, public source you can check yourself.

That means our pages are built from court dockets and filings, regulatory records and safety communications from agencies such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and named studies published in the peer-reviewed scientific literature. When we describe what a court found, what a regulator did, or what a study concluded, we are summarizing those records — not offering our own legal or medical opinion.

The process

Our Research Process

  1. 01

    We Start From Primary Sources

    Every case page begins with the public record: court dockets and filings (including federal MDL records), regulatory actions and safety communications from agencies such as the FDA and EPA, and named, peer-reviewed scientific studies. We summarize what these documents say — we do not invent facts.

  2. 02

    We Cite What We Summarize

    Claims about litigation status, regulatory history, and scientific findings are tied to a named source, and where a public URL exists, we link to it. Our case pages carry a "Sources" section so you can verify the underlying records yourself.

  3. 03

    We Review Against the Record — and Date It

    Litigation and regulatory facts change. Our research team checks pages against the current primary sources and records when that review last happened, shown as a "Last reviewed against primary sources" date on the page.

  4. 04

    We Attribute Organizationally

    Our content is prepared and reviewed by the People’s Justice Research Team. We do not attribute pages to individual named authors, and we do not claim individual professional credentials or licenses for our content.

Our sources

What We Rely On

  • Court dockets and filings, including federal multidistrict litigation (MDL) records.
  • Regulatory records and safety communications from agencies such as the FDA and EPA.
  • Recalls, warning letters, and enforcement actions published by government bodies.
  • Named, peer-reviewed studies published in the scientific and medical literature.
  • Verdicts and settlements reported in the public record.

Our commitments

Editorial Standards

Source-first, not persona-first

Our authority comes from the public records we cite — court filings, regulatory documents, and peer-reviewed research — not from named personalities. We attribute our work to the People’s Justice Research Team.

Verifiable claims

Statements about lawsuits, settlements, recalls, and scientific findings are drawn from public documents. Where those documents are available online, we link to them so you can read the original.

Plain language, clearly dated

We translate dense legal and regulatory material into plain language and mark when each page was last reviewed against its sources, so you know how current the information is.

No outcome promises

Past verdicts and settlements are reported as a matter of public record. They are not predictions. No result is typical, and prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome in any other matter.

Accuracy

Corrections & Updates

Litigation and regulatory facts evolve. When the public record changes, we update the affected pages and refresh the date that records when the page was last reviewed against its primary sources. If you believe something on this site is inaccurate or out of date, we want to know — please reach us through our contact page so we can review it against the source material.
