Copyright, Attribution and Educational Use Policy

Purpose and independence

The Legal Gazette is an independent educational resource that curates legal lecture links and organises public academic resources to support discovery and learning. A listing does not establish a partnership, endorsement, accreditation or ownership of the original lecture. We do not issue course-completion certificates for these videos.

Who owns the content

Lectures, recordings, slides, transcripts, music, images, logos and other third-party materials remain subject to their respective rightsholders’ rights. Public accessibility, educational purpose and attribution do not by themselves grant copyright permission or establish that every use is lawful. Any licence shown applies only to the material and uses covered by it. TLG cannot grant rights it does not hold.

Links and the official player

We link to original institution pages and original publisher channels. Where availability, authentic provenance and embedding status have been checked and no contrary rights restriction is identified, we may offer YouTube’s official embedded player after your consent. The original player controls, branding, advertising and source links remain intact. We do not download or re-upload lectures, defeat access controls, alter the recording or hide attribution. If embedding is disabled, permission is required, a restriction is identified or rights are unclear, we use a source link or hold the listing for review. An enabled player is a technical status, not a licence for further reuse.

Viewing terms and privacy

The video feature uses YouTube services. By choosing to use the player, you agree to the YouTube Terms of Service and acknowledge the Google Privacy Policy linked beside the viewing control. TLG does not request your YouTube credentials or access your YouTube account. The player receives technical and viewing data directly; consent can be withdrawn through Manage cookies. Direct external links are governed by the destination service’s terms.

Attribution standard

Each listing identifies the exact title, lecturer and credentials where independently supported, original institution/publisher, original channel and URL, source evidence, date checked and remaining unknowns. Upload dates are distinguished from event dates. TLG study questions and learning suggestions are labelled as editorial guidance and are not represented as a verbatim transcript or a verified chapter list. Missing details are labelled, not inferred from a speaker’s name or geography.

Permitted and prohibited use

Use source links and players within their applicable terms. Consult the original licence or seek permission before reproducing, translating, adapting, distributing or commercially exploiting a lecture or accompanying material. Do not remove credits, claim authorship, imply institutional affiliation, bypass restrictions, copy paid material or redistribute recordings without authority. Personal study access does not authorise republication. Any statutory exception must be assessed for the specific use and jurisdiction.

Listing and review

Submissions enter a private review queue. An editor checks original provenance, public availability, the proposed metadata and educational relevance. Where necessary the editor seeks rightsholder permission before publication. Verification is dated and limited: it does not certify legal correctness, completeness, accessibility in every country or freedom from third-party claims. Historical lectures may describe superseded law. Check current official legislation and judgments.

Copyright concerns

Use Report Copyright Concerns or email info@thelegalgazette.org with the TLG listing URL, original work, rightsholder/authorised representative details, contact email, the nature of your rights and the specific disputed use. Include authority or ownership evidence where relevant and a good-faith explanation. Do not send passwords, private identity documents or unnecessary confidential information. We record a request reference, assess the evidence, may disable the embed or temporarily hold the listing, seek clarification where needed and record the decision. We may share the relevant allegation with the submitter or publisher to investigate while minimising personal information. A complaint to TLG concerns our listing; removal of the original YouTube recording requires the platform’s own process.

Removal, correction and reconsideration

Creators, institutions and readers can request removal or correction using the same form. Identify the exact error or requested change and provide a reliable original source. We prioritise credible copyright and privacy concerns, preserve a private decision history and correct, link-only, hold or withdraw the listing as appropriate. Publication is never automatic after a complaint or submission. We aim to acknowledge requests within five working days, but this is a service target rather than a guaranteed legal deadline. Quote your reference when emailing for progress or reconsideration and include new supporting evidence. There is no public display of complainants’ personal details.
