Judith C McKee is the byline for the last check before publication. Every number, date, case name and quotation in a post is matched against its row in the source log and against the quoted passage on the source page. Anything that does not match is removed from the post, and the post says what the desk could not read. The check does not replace legal advice: AI Policy Desk posts explain rules and do not advise on a specific case.
