A government legal office may issue a public statement and later authorize a correction.

A government legal office may issue a public statement and later authorize a correction. DOJ’s Justice Manual provides federal media relations guidance. An original example can evaluate whether software quotes only the version cleared for the stated purpose. DOJ Justice Manual media relations
Invent an administrative announcement and two mock summaries. Authorize the first and later correct a single date. Give the second a proposed addition with no approval. Ask the model what can be quoted from the current record and which part needs a source. Score release status and exact citation.
Keep actual cases, investigative files, privileged communications, witnesses and legal strategy out. Use invented statements and routes. Leave legal and publication decisions with the office.
Describe a fictional public statement review
Original Fiund exercise
A date-only correction does not authorize a proposed new sentence
An invented government legal office announces a generic archive-opening date. Original statements contain no real case, investigation, witness, privileged communication or legal strategy.
| Record | Source | What it records |
|---|---|---|
| PSV1 | Authorized statement V1 | Administrative archive opens day 12. Text approved for the practice public summary. |
| PSV2 | Authorized correction V2 | Changes opening date to day 14 only; all other approved wording unchanged. |
| PSV3 | Proposed summary | Uses day 14 and adds all historical files will be available, a sentence absent from V1/V2 and lacking approval. |
Question for the model
What opening date and wording are supported for the current practice summary, and does the corrected date authorize the added availability claim?
Show the reference answer and checks
PSV2 supports day 14 and retains the otherwise approved V1 wording. PSV3 correctly uses that date but adds an availability claim with no source or approval in the packet. A valid correction to one field does not authorize new substantive language elsewhere. Quote or summarize only the supported current statement and flag the added sentence for the office's authorized review rather than treating the entire draft as cleared.
- Approving a whole summary because one corrected date matches.
- Treating a proposed new sentence as part of a narrow authorized correction.
Fields to preserve
- Statement version and release authority
- Identifies the public source.
- Correction target
- Makes the date-only scope explicit.
- Draft-added claim and supporting citation
- Exposes unsupported new wording.
Test another case
Approve a different new sentence about a reading-room schedule while leaving file availability unaddressed. Require sentence-level source matching rather than a blanket approval.
Use original fictional announcements. Exclude actual cases, investigative material, witnesses, privileged communications and legal strategy.
