Select the purpose of your message and provide enough detail for the editorial office to route it responsibly.
Corrections
Identify the article, exact passage, alleged error and supporting authority.
Rights and permissions
Identify the material, proposed use, territory, language and publication context.
Accessibility
Include the page, device, assistive technology and task you could not complete.
Institutional correspondence
State the organisation, role, purpose and any relevant deadline.
Do not send confidential client information or request advice about a personal legal matter. The Mandamus is a publication, not a law office, and correspondence does not create an advocate-client relationship.
Routing and response
Messages are routed according to subject and may be shared internally with the smallest group reasonably necessary to respond. A delivery acknowledgement does not confirm agreement, legal sufficiency or a response deadline. Urgent court, safety or legal matters should identify the exact deadline and supporting reference.
Requests the journal cannot fulfil
- Advice or representation in an individual legal matter.
- Emergency assistance, complaints to public authorities or filing of court documents.
- Guaranteed publication, deletion or favourable coverage.
- Disclosure of confidential submissions, source identities or internal deliberations.
- Authentication of legal documents or certification of current law.
Security
Do not send passwords, financial credentials, highly sensitive identifiers or material that would expose another person to unnecessary risk. If you believe you have found a security vulnerability, provide a concise description and reproduction steps without accessing, changing or publishing other people’s data.
Contact questions
Where should I send a correction?
Use the correction route and include the URL, exact passage, explanation and strongest supporting authority.
Can I request an interview or speaker?
Yes. Identify the event or publication, topic, proposed participant, date, format, audience and whether the request is on the record.
Can I send confidential information?
Contact the office first with a non-confidential description. Ordinary web forms and email should not be assumed to provide legal privilege or end-to-end confidentiality.
