This field is for a succinct description of the threat. A short description of the facts of the situation is appropriate. For lawsuits, a description of the important events in the procedural history of the case (e.g., filing of important motions, issuance of court decisions, commencement of trial) is also useful. This is not the place for detailed legal analysis of the case or partisan arguments for one side or the other.

If a situation has had recent developments that warrant monitoring, please include the boldface headline “Update:” followed by a one-line space and then the recent information, preferably including a date. For example:

Update:

On 05/06/2007, the defendant filed a motion to strike the case under state anti-SLAPP statutes.
